It was great this week, it kinda reminds you that one day Spring will be here.
Riding in on dry roads, actually getting the power down during the bends again woo hoo.
Still plenty of crap on the roads, we need a couple of heavy rains to wash it away, then all is good.
Enough snow n ice now, thanks.
On the commute home tonight there was a massive diesel spill from the A1(M) from Welwyn to the Stevenage South turn off.
It runs the whole length of the inside lane and about 6″ wide and runs off up the Stevenage South off ramp.
Nice ha.
I reported it to the police. The number is 0845 33 00 222. Please, aways report spills.
Petition the government to get anti spill devices fitted at their official site…

Thanks
I noticed this on MCN’s Facebook Group. With my recent mishap (see a couple of posts below) I think I need one of these 
……
It’s a snow bike kit! It takes a couple of hours to fit. lol.
Ducati Streetfighter - Nice!
How tricked up can a bike be? I’m not a fan of unfaired “street” bikes but is a good looking blinged up piece of kit.
The engine is the 1098 lump and there is an S version with Ohlins and Traction Control for those that still have a credit rating.
Ducati have a lovely, flashy site ….

PS Ducati, if you want to lend me one to test ride that would be fine 
Two up on ice is a bad thing! I came round a corner going through a village this morning, to be greeted by sheet ice followed by one of those traffic calming islands with the curb protruding out on my side of the road. With on coming traffic I had not choice but to turn.
On your own this is a bad situation but with the added weight of a pillion, the back tyre lost grip and it was game off. A very slow spin to the ground.
The FZ-1 took it well the damage was confined mainly to the exhaust, although there was slight damage to the handle bar end and the small plastic radiator cowling and my ego of course. Boo hoo.
UPDATE
The handlebar clamps were also bent at £50 each. That’s not bad, could have been a lot worse.
Man this morning was a nightmare, riding from Baldock to Buntingford (a truly awesome biking road) was real fun! -2 deg’s with random frozen slush and black ice made corning a butt clenching exercise. If I had come off I’m sure the seat would have come with me. Especially heart stopping when an artic comes thundering round the corner from the other direction. It took 10mins of rocking the bike backwards and forwards to get away from the garage.
Still, beats the s£$t out of the train.
No biking for me today, can’t remember the last time Hammersmith looked like this! I really need a trailie.
Hats off to those who got out there today!
I spent 2 hours each way on the train
