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!

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.
