I was out last night very briefly at 2 degrees trying to set a few electric things up since the flooding I had monday

Worked today but will be out tomorrow

Mine sucked somethin up through the carb which made it rough down low but ok up top. Booted it a few times which seemed to clear it but might if I get a moment just clear the jets

Got out on the road this morning - it's been more than 6 weeks since it last went out...

Loads of fun, as the roads are still wet and greasy - it's very interesting when you're accelerating and the revs keep blipping up unexpectedly as you drive over the slippery bits...

Had the tail wagging a few times on corners, too.

Not a good day for any new 7 drivers...

Drove mine on to base to day to have a look at my unwell gearbox tomorrow, only used first and second (because i've no other gears )

Dryish looking road and it still span the wheels if i wasn't careful in second.

The less I worked, the more i liked it.
