[QUOTE] A bit of fettling followed by an outing on each of the three bikes that is currently roadworthy (the LS650 needs some minor engine work). Wonderful to be back on 2 wheels after nearly three weeks layoff. I shall be back on V-Strom tomorrow for my 30 mile each way commute so I was pleased that it started immediately despite 3 weeks of standing (under a cover) out in the snow and ice. I saw a few other bikes as well so it looks like I wasn't the only one enjoying this 7 deg C heatwave.[/QUOTE] Hummph. Because I've been quite ill with this kidney problem for the past[/QUOTE] [snip eye-watering stuff] Ouch! Get well soon that Loz.
