I love this weather. Admittedly, clearing the driveway is getting a bit tedious now...

Don't get me wrong I love snow :y, just not good for two wheels with ice and slush ::) (i'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to slip slidey on the bike :-[)

Mine is wrapped up in the garage until spring (unless my mate needs it - his bike is beyond economical repair)

It's getting quite frustrating now :(
Still if the weather improves next week which I have heard will then it's back to two wheels for me 8-)

enlighten please :question
Something with the starter motor and the starter ring. Parts are several £100 alone, plus a faily major stripdown, which he hasn't time to do (moving house) so would have to pay labour.  Bike not worth it - he uses his every day, all weathers, so depreciate quickly
