This morning checks outside "oh nice sunshine". Checks outside temp. Its -1 degree. Okayyy. 
Anyway.. Has anyone used Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99 fuel on their bikes? I use Shell V-Power always. I can get 5p off via Bluelight Card (applies to other fuels too).

It's snowing here tomorrow.
It's not my kind of riding weather yet...Heated clothing exists. As long as it's (mainly) dry I get out there, life's too short to wait for a nice warm sunny day in this country, that might be months away.This morning checks outside "oh nice sunshine". Checks outside temp. Its -1 degree. Okayyy.

Then go out for a ride, why wait? Just had a wooly jumper and bicycle leggings under leathers, was fine although another layer on chest would have been slightly better.
You tend to get a bit colder when you hit the max speed of a Sym125 in first gear and 3 seconds
And the big front to guard your crotch! I've had too many bikes where my legs create glorified ducting for my freezing cold balls!You tend to get a bit colder when you hit the max speed of a Sym125 in first gear and 3 seconds

Probably would to wear a neck warmer, I think I've got one.

My balls have this amazing feature where they just turn in to peanuts and then vanish in to my stomach until it's warm enough to pop out again.

I’m waiting for the earlier sun. Commuting at 6am and still a little too dark for the pothole infested country roads I take. But I can see some light so it’ll be very soon.
So soon I picked up new boots! Oxford cyphers which were pretty cheap considering the safety rating on them.

If anyone has a spare £6k knocking around for some insane fun..

As a noob I would recommend flip up helmet, so when you go into a shop you don't need to remove it, just flip it up.
Also get one with built in shade visor, and pinlock
Bright helmets give you that extra visibility
I'd avoid black helmets
