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

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

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

Believe it or not when I passed my test 10 years ago, that was my first bike a 535 Virago.  I must admit really like it at the time ::)
