Went for a spin to Boxhill today on the NC30. Bike went perfectly and got a fair bit of attention there, however my thumbs stopped working after a while!

Anyone else get out on theirs today?

Sorry to hear that :(

Roads mostly dry and clear around these parts. Must get some better winter gloves though, had these for at least 20 years!

have the nc out today just around the area looks like ive successfully got the first part of the project done. but the last few days going to work on the sp has been freezing. i got a set of leather ski gloves from tkmax, they are fantastic but not really waterproof.
next time your out, give me a shout

She's not so bad considering that I must have been doing about 25mph at the time. Broken mirror, broken gear lever, scraped and crack side panel, scraped bar end and clutch lever. Scraped rear footpeg.

Coulda been much worse.
