    Hi Lee, I agree on the Winter distaste. Like Dave I also own a Sprint (T reg 955i). A couple of weeks back with a hard frost on the ground I put it on it's side braking on top of diesel in the cold shadows at lights. New back tyre on it. Def only dry riding in the cold weather from now on.[​IMG]

    Welcome to the forum Lee.
    Having just returned to biking 12 months ago, I am making up for lost time and am using my Bonnie on every decent day through the winter months.
    The days when I have to use the car never puts put a grin on my face like the bike does.

    OOOOOOO been there too with my Sprint so know how youre feeling. Lucky tho it looks only superficial coz them bits can be hard to get hold of. Bit of filler and you will be back to good in no time. And the bike will be too,lol
    Take care
