Its defiantly old age for me, i normally ride all year round, but now as i ride for pleasures and not doing it as a job, i decided to put my X9 500 and my Vespa GT 125 in to my lock up over winter, as just cant see fun riding in the cold.

Any of you still ride over winter ?

also my X9 bolt on Trike kit, just cant get rid of it ? anyone want it ? it bolts to the main center stand.

Exactly. The grass is still growing!

I still ride over winter unless it's really bad. A car toll of €2.50 each way and congestion focuses the mind on which vehicle to take to work.

Possibly not down South but the gritters have been out for a week now on the hills up here.

Unless it’s a really nice day this time of year, Gina is under cover in the garage with Nelly. Typically the latter gets SORN’ed Nov-Mar as I’m made of sugar.

Gina shares the current stable with Nelly (Tornado 900). Had a Vespa 150 Super when I was 18 and my dad courted on a Maicoletta. 2 wheels are in my blood as I'm also a Time Trialist and general headcase. Gold E46 ragtop and Fiat Coupe 16VT are my current/most recent brum-brums. 61 and won't grow up. Acquired the 2003 250SL on 6th June 2021 and so far have lifted the screen to height position 3 and replaced the OEM seized shockers with YSS jobbies with 2 chunky washers each side of the replacement units+original spacer on preload 2/5. Replaced the worn Avon Viper Stryke boots with Pirelli Angel Scooter. 25K miles used but not abused workhouse from Cov with yearly service for sub-a-grand so happy days. A few scuffs but nowt of consequence. 20mm thick Neoprene sponge bonded to glitzy, reflective Jintan top box with pillion back rest solid bumper lump. Just changed my n/s rear light bulb without removing the rack and top box. No mods to the rear panel hooks performed either and re-installed the 2 x 10mm bolts for rear light integrity so not to rely on the 2 x latch panel/cover screws.

Very wise!
I ride unless it's icy or snowing; I decide and ignore what other people say.
The Forza looks after me so I respect its limitations.
I ride the Vision locally and frequently; if I fall off it (which I haven't yet) I'm nearer the ground.
It's been challenging in the wind we've had up here recently but 'soft hands' is the order of the day.
