Hey guys and girls I've been introduced to this by another rider in a bike shop in Bristol.
Really interested how you riders cope with riding in the cold between now and next summer

Cheers!

P.s I'm also in the market for a bike soon as my license gets upgraded to open class. ( unrestricted) MT07, Panigale 1199 or monster

Hi there jax, welcome to Swb.

I reckon that was probably me that was bothering you if it was in Fowlers.

Dive on in and have fun. Keep us posted on the bike Hunt.

In disguise, I borrowed a gixxer and pushed it Across the dotted line. It had twigs sticking out it and everything.

I think they felt sorry for me.

I wouldn't consider a Panigale for long road rides/touring - but then I'm an old fart with sore aching bones and what do I know :mrgreen:
