I’ve been to Hull and back

Just back from a 440 mile one night stopover trip to ‘ull.
Interesting ride through the “showers” yesterday.
Still, heated waistcoat and hot grips plus waterproofs made it a breeze.
Temperature average was 5c into 25-35mph northerlies made wind chill a big factor. But not for me.
The addition of my Givi airflow screen and airhawk seat pad made the ride comfortable and although most of the ride was at or just above 70mph into that wind then the 60mpg averaged was impressive.
Happy days :D

On my way up the A1 early today (in the car!!!). Saw a brave couple on a Vespa GTS between Doncaster and Retford, the thermometer on the car was reading 4C with heavy showers around....didn't see a screen on the scoot, so I hope they were very well wrapped up!!!!
