SPS at least once a week depending on weather, Multistrudel 2 or 3 times a week.

Obviously prefer South of France type weather and pleasure riding to commuting/work but then who doesn't. However at the slightest sign of salt/snow the Ducati's stay locked away.

When it gets like that i'll either use the dirtbike or whatever pile of festering crap i've bought as a winter/despatch bike.

I do actually get a perverse sense of enjoyment riding in the rain as long as i'm warm and dry and there's a reason for riding. When i haven't got a valid reason and the weathers dreadful i'm more than happy to sit in the car with heater and music cranked up.

Having despatched through too many winters (doing a full day in London then leaving at 7pm to ride 270 miles back home to Durham on Fridays, dreaming of all the National Express coaches full of people sitting in T shirts drinking beer breaking down) I'm more than happy to be a shandy drinking softie and take the car whenever it suits.

Excuse me rambling, too many stellas, good night.
