with foil or some such; old-Mini stylee?


Can take quite a long time to a bike to get to working temp at this time of year. On a commuting journey, it may never do so.

I'm especially noticing this now, after a main service. The rad has been thoroughly cleaned of all the crud that was embedded in it, and is working all too efficiently now!


So: do you?
