Took the FJ out for gas in the snow 10 days ago  going to take her out for a short ride in the next few days when temps get up to 35 deg. :good:Going to be a cold ride but I need to try out my knew helmet and garmin etrex.

To paraphrase the Monty Python "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch......35F? I... DREAM! ...of 35F. Sorry, the cold is driving me nuts.

Stuart, I nice big bottle of Corrida Red from that Off License would probably not go astray either eh?

Stay warm mate.

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

very nice Stuart ,

I always enjoy your vids .

time for the vodka about now. :drinks:

Mark,

I've just trudged across the arctic wastes to my local Off Licence (liquor store) for a bottle of Russia's finest & some Polish beer. Since the roads are snowed up and the bike is my only transport it looks like no work tomorrow.

No work and beverages on hand is a dangerous mix .

stay warm and out of trouble, sounds like a day to review the rally vids, and dream of warmer times.

Mark,

Actually I did ride in, minus 5C there & back. The main roads were fairly clear but I had to "ski" to them in first gear with my feet down. Not sensible and no end in sight.
