Foot out of plaster so this weekend went for a 300 mile trip to Bristol for a party on Saturday night. Absolutely freezing, don't think the temperature rose above 1 degree all weekend. Forced to stop at Fowlers to buy some new under thermal gear to replace my old stuff and it was a bit better but could only do about 40 miles at a time before the cold really got to me and I'd have to stop to warm up. Those Akras come in handy as emergency warmers. Had so many layers on I could hardly bend my arms enough to do my helmet strap up. But it was worth it, great roads, no motorways, three tanks of petrol.

Also picked up some KTM gear for the twins when they are born. They WILL be fans! Cool

All's well that end's well but all in all ,, how's the foot after 300 miles on a cold day without plaster
Mate that thing looks like a mini bike with you sitting on it!
Good to see your back on the road Bic Looks like a nice day ,sun shining, blue sky, the ony thing showing how cold it was is you dressed up like the michelin man
He's back! Keep an eye on next weekend m8 as we might do a Haverhill run if the weather plays ball. Massive "if" there though.
I hate riding in the cold - but for some reason I'm always bloody doing it! The SD isn't exactly a cold weather bike.
I'm fookin freezing just lookin at the pictures , and now you will have to get the poxy road salt off your bike before it gets eaten alive . On the positive side, it did not get dark last night until 5:05pm
Good to see you back on it dude

I went out for a quick blast yesterday, FOOK it was cold!!! All of me was ok with Under Armour suit under my leathers but by the time i got home my hands were in agony (and my wrist was starting to ache and seize up from the cold too )

Still, was good to taste freedom for an hour
Glad you're back on the bike brother. I think you're crazy riding in that cold of weather however, course I did crash and break my thumb and total the SD last time I went out in the cold.
Nice one Bic, glad to see you out on the bike again and in this weather too, I don't remember seeing those baby outfits in the new powerwear, must have a 2nd look
Hello Bic .. Good to see back on the road, but I'm with Agro, I didn't know Superdukes came in smaller sizes.

Kuerbis
