Title: About to come out of hibernation
Post by: patrick on February 22, 2012, 09:17:44 PM
Last time I used my GTR was the 1st weekend in November. My other half really feels the cold so we've not been out since then and the bike is still gleaming after its Allyear biker cleaining session.

And now all of  a sudden its only 2 weeks until my 1st NEG Cycle race of the year. The bike needs to be serviced and as it's 1st MOT is due in April I'll get that done at the same time. And I've got fit in my RoSPA 3year re-test and I'm waiting to get completion date on my house sale and then find a house to rent.

I think Im going to be busy!!

Its a great sign when people start getting their bikes out of hibernation.

Personally I keep mine 'available' all year round, as I like to ride out even in winter, obviously only if the weather is good enough.

Rode every work day in December and January.
Finally got the car fixed and MOTd so have been using that for the last 4 weeks.
Was glad not to have to ride in the salt and ice.  :grin:
In 2010 I rode every day except for 4 days in December when the snow was too deep.

Hibernation is for wusses  :mfr_lol: :biker3: :punk:

Take it with a pinch of salt but there's a mini heatwave predicted in the next few weeks
