Yeah it does look beautiful, might have to consider a trip up there. Did a lap of the Peak District today as it was 15 degC(!), a few bikes around but roads still a bit salty and slimy, was tempted to take the S1K but pleased I didn't in the end...
Mac - I'm very jealous. GS is the right choice IMO when it's like it is at the moment, no point messing up the rr when the roads are wet and slimy, can't enjoy the bike fully.
I've got a pass out this coming Friday and Sunday so hoping the weather holds for the next week or so. Mad weather - right now it's 14c in the countryside where I am. BBQ anyone?
