    Default Sandra's first holiday

    On holiday this week and taking Sandra for her first holiday to Kent which is about 225 miles from where I live. She has now done just over 300 miles locally which involved town, city and a few motorways. We both love riding in the wind and rain and would like to take on our next challenge which is a 4 hour trip to Kent (This is where Jeff OJ UK lives). Hotel is booked for 2 nights and I am looking forward to the journey tomorrow.
    So far my relationship with Sandra has been fantastic. We have not made one mistake since we got together riding and we are like ballroom dancers when we are out riding the streets, taking the bends, corners and lane changes elegantly, cautiously and safely every time.
    Other road users are saying how considerate I am with Sandra and I tell them its because I communicate on line with experienced Spyder riders who have taught me a thing or two

    Default Back from holiday

    Me and Sandra both got back from holiday about an hour ago and have a few pics to follow. A BIG shout out to Jeff (OJ UK) for taking me to a motorcycle gear shop and giving me recommendations for gear to wear whilst riding in winter/summer, coffee and riding tips. Jeff you are like a dad to me and you provided so much entertainment for me, I am already looking forward to meeting you again.
    Sandra has now done nearly 900 miles and that's 900 exciting, exhilarating and fun miles.

    Enjoy the pics to follow

    Sandra resting at hotel car park, after doing a few hundred miles, I think she deserves it.

    Question: How warm (Or cold... ), does it get over there at this time of the year?
    We're enjoying some VERY good weather right now; it hit 52 degrees here about an hour ago, and had barely dipped below freezing overnight...
    (Normally; we're ten degrees colder by now!)

    Cool

    It's been unusually mild for December, Bob and we have yet to have a frost.
    today it was around 55oF and on Sunday we saw 58. Usually the frosts start in late October
    and I've known it to be into the high 20s by this time of the year.

    It sounds as if your temperatures are normally pretty similar to ours.
    Enjoy the nice weather while you can!
