Hi everyone!

Welcome to the Fray, enjoy the Banter and heed the slick spots while getting used to the torque
 
Welcome from Christchurch New Zealand. Ed

I always wear gloves when riding. Learnt that lesson 30 years ago no good in your pocket when your sliding down the road at 60mph your hands they get hot really quick.

Even when it's 30deg C I still have a pair in.

Lucky I still have all my fingers
