We were hoping to get out on the bike now the weather appears to be picking up but looks like we're going to have to put things on hold for now. Once we get back to normality we'd love to hear from people riding out

We were hoping to get out when we tax the bikes at the end of the month but virus has stopped that so no taxing bikes for now. Anyway they are forecasting snow on Sunday

I don't think we're due the snow but it looked like it was forecast for parts of Scotland when I saw the BBC weather this morning, it's going to get colder though.

I have a Joe Rocket airflow jacket XL, silver in colour for sale, ideal for summer days or even better for a trip to Europe. Was thinking of selling it on ebay but as you say not ideal buying a jacket on line so not put it up for sale yet for that very reason. Don't know if it would sell.

Not much time left before that dreaded salt gets thrown about. We put our bikes away for the winter when that happens. Hopefully we'll get out couple of more times before that. Unfortunately with virus numbers rising we not looking to meet socially at the moment. Less contact with others will help get us all back on track. Let's just hope for a miracle and all the crazies try harder now they've put restrictions back on us all. Happy riding everyone what we have left of the season

The RT is a good shout for two up touring, I had Triumph Trophy for a couple of years which I thought was great but as you say they don’t make them anymore. There’s a few second hand ones around and they are usually very well looked after so worth a look. To be honest either would be good so its really what you like the look of. Good luck !
