    Hi I'm Matt, and today I'm riding the bus because my 2004 S3 decided against the zero degrees outside of the garage and stayed put (again).
    Found this forum whilst searching for 'how to' answers. Normally American ones pop up so it was nice to see the names of English towns on comments!

    Welcome Matt :grinning:
    Be good to see pics of your bike!
    And, yes, it needs to warm up a bit :grinning:

    Taken after her almost daily wash (they love to grit up here) after the daily commute. Not bad considering she's gone through 3 winters so far.

    Welcome mate. Cold or no, the currant bun's out so l've taxed my Z1000. Might have a scoot up Holmfirth on Sunday to the other forum's monthly meet. :)

    @MattJST Welcome to our family. Think zero degree's i would be staying at home to. If the bike is not camera shy then we would like to see a picture. Just hit the upload a file button right and bingo we can see the bike. This is by far the best forum to find And our American brothers and sisters are just as helpful and friendly.

    I've uploaded a pic, it's just waiting for admin approval. Also, I got home (it's sunny now) and reattached the fully charged battery and she started. Then didn't. Then did. So this weekend I will mostly be sat on the floor of my garage trying to work out why...
