greetings from foggy London
Hi,
new member here from London (originally from Belfast). I've (against all better judgement) bought a brand new 650 v-strom as my first bike. It was the only thing that fitted!
I passed my bike test 10 years ago after 6 hours of tuition, then nothing until last month, when I just thought what the heck. Now I have a shiny new machine .
Really enjoying myself, but the weather here hasn't been fantastic. The day after I picked it up there was 3 inches of snow on the seat.
Looking for some boots right now, has anyone got any recommendations? My friend says Sidi. I just don't know...
Jasper
p.s. if anyone in London sees someone in a 1980s Bros style leather jacket (so I was a fashion victim in 1988, so what?) tootling around nervously, say Hi!

Whoops! Forgot what I originally wanted to say, which was and !!
I must say, too, that the idea of riding in fog makes me shudder. Clammy & cold & no one can see me! What's to like about that?

biking isnt a matter of life or death,its far more important(bill shankley,well almost)
