But don't it make it all the nicer when you do get some quality riding time?
 Sapre a thought for pedro and twin fan et al who don't (as I understand from threads on here) have their bikes for the upcoming pleasant weather weekend.
 Sheer torture it must be.
 Re bikes whizzing past - my house backs onto the m62/m6 link road and in the summer when I'm trying to earn enough points for a day off, it's damned hard to concentrate with all them bikes flying past.  You can always tell the dukes with the termi's.  Makes me smile every time.
