Come down south for a couple winters, Kuro. I promise you'll never want to go back. Especially after you experience the year-round riding season.

Easy fix:
Find a gixxer, douse it in petrol & toss a match. Instant house warmer

I managed to take some pictures yesterday and will take some more over the weekend but my whole world has frozen up here ... even the canal is a solid strip of ice, we are stranded down by the cottage ... the whole lane is an ice rink and is a steep hill in parts back to civilisation ... my brother is going to attempt to try and take the car to get supplies and food later but he may have to walk down the canal into the next village ... who knows what will await him there, the whole village and the people could all be dead ..lol .. seriously though I have never seen the likes of this before, my world has frozen up completely!!
