Hi Gill
Oh, he's somewhere in Africa, banging his political drum.........
Don't forget, Africa is about 10 000 miles from north to south, and about 3000 miles at its widest point, has around 40 countries, from Egypt up north, and we're right down at the bottom........

ORIGINAL: R1000

I went out for the first trip this year today. The temperature was about +4 Deg C but the roads are fairly dry. I reduced the tyre pressure to 2.5 kg rear and 2.3 kg front. The standard pressure is 2.9/2.9 (42 PSI).
A few short videos from today on

Great picture Shadow! Not jealous at all [:'(]! At least with my heated kit any riding in the UK is bearable... but I would rather have your climate! Loads of salt on our roads at the moment [:@]

Gill, what would that bike be like in heavy wind??????

The weather in Sweden isa bitruff today; warnings for heavy snowstorm etc. By some nicereason the stuff seems to move around far away from where I live. I was out for about one hour today on completely dry roads and the sun showed up from time to time. The temperature is low, between 0 to 1.5 Deg C. Heated grips and a full facemask is a must. The picture is taken at Strömsholms castle. http://www.sfv.se/cms/sfv/engelska/h...lm_Castle.html

I haven't been riding since last weekend due to to the cold and snowy weather, but last Saturday I rode with a neighbour, who just recently bought a Fireblade, to Skokloster Castle

And then for a solo ride to the center of Stockholm:
