Motorcycling in Winter

Now that the weather has turned nasty, getting out for rides starts to be tricky. A couple of weeks back to thought I would ride through the villages that look so pretty from the train: Stansted Mountfitchet, Newport, Elsenham, but strangely from the road they are disappointing and the roads are also uninteresting.

Yesterday I had SBW fit auxiliary lights to the bike. Something about the way the headlight comes on has been changed. I haven’t worked it out yet but the new lights are good (despite what some seem to be saying in discussion groups).

The weather turned from bright sunshine on the way there to dark windy and raining on the way back – in honour of increased visibility. The journey is three miles longer via the A10 but much nicer that the A1(M).
