Ron has got that anti-corrosion stuff on his bike so if he washed it, it would remove all the anti-corrosion stuff. Might look grubby but it's doing its job. RCF50? RCF45? Can't remember what it's called.

ACF50?

Forgot to update,

I now hold a full motorcycle license for those that commented on my "van-van" pic on the page prior! Dates went like this:

28/12/2014 Theory Test
13/1/2015 CBT
17/1/2015 4hr Training on 650cc bike
26/1/2015 Mod 1
30/1/2015 Mod 2

Looking forward to getting a bike in late March. Problem is I want about 5 different bikes.

Fair play for doing AND passing it with frozen fingers!

Doyal

Haha, I know what you mean. Seemed to get better the more I rode the bike, as I was not holding on as tightly!

The learning school (Phoenix Bristol) have taken it on board and are going to retro-fit heated grips to their bikes.

The second you start to get sore hands / wrists / arms you know you have been gripping the bars too tightly. Relaxed ( slightly bent) arms and shoulders are key. Frozen finger tips are just not fun and the thaw out is just as painful if not more so than the freezing process.

I refuse to take the bike out when it's as cold as it is, heated grips or not.

Congrats!!

Yeah, I use heated grips in this weather - you struggle without to be honest.

Go on then, what are your bike lists?

Doyal

The shortlist is:

Suzuki DRZ400SM
Triumph 675 Daytona
Triumph Thruxton

That would tick my 3 boxes.. supermoto, supersport, and cafe racer!! #

Look at this beauty on the bay' http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201272995617

Simple - get the Triumph Street Triple R.

All in one.
