Back on 2 wheels again...temporarily thank god!

[D O G]

So I had the pleasure of being back on 2 wheels today, my car is temporarily out of action, so I used the bike my friend left in my garage to store over winter - as it is far too cold to use it.

Well, I say 'bike', I really mean a Suzuki 125 Burgman Scootay.

So the 30 miles up the M3 on the commute was undertaken at a max speed of 65mph. That's plenty enough when the temp is hovering around freezing. Even with 2 pairs of trousers, two thermal tops and a fuckoff textile jacket I was still cold. Fingers were the worst, even thou I had 2 pairs of winter gloves on.

Still tho, it was fucking magic being back on a 'bike'. Bring on Spring when I get the SRAD back on the road.

And, yes I know, it is a cool story. Literally.

I know the feeling,

My Ninja is gone, and brought a little cub 90 runaround, while its quite nice not to be walking/public transport, riding it is just comical, I keep seeing gaps that i just cant make, so i tell myself "cub cub cub cub cub" and breathe... Still its cheap...

I wanted a Cool Story, Bro! Pic with snow and ice on it or something, but I couldn't find anything so that will have to do!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Some people just aren't built for riding bikes

Well, with some muffs and heated grips (and an extra 100cc) it would be spot on.

I just suffer really badly with cold fingers, and all add up all the time kitting up it's not worth it for a mortorway commute. There's no radio either.

Went on a 100 mile "trip" on the scooter once last winter, fuck knows why, it was horrible and windy so I was lucky to do 50mph. Never again though, when I got back I couldn't stop shaking, even after a 20 minute hot shower, not the cleverest thing I've done

Pussies!

Layers, heated grips and winter is no big deal
