Congrats Mick. First ride out and you've got more miles on yours than I've had on mine in nearly 6 months.... I'm jealous.
Enjoy what you can of the bird to it warms up, and welcome to the forum

Bike cafe packed. Even the HD's were out - although there was talk of a black cloud comeing in over the atlantic so they all scooted pretty quick. 
Good to have you on - and another for the flocking ?

Hi Mike. Good on ya, glad you enjoyed it.
If you're interested about a ride out around the Peak District National park, there's about 18 of us from this forum meeting up for a ride on Sunday 18th March.
Many of us are meeting up on the Saturday night at Hurdlow, near Bakewell for a meal and staying over in barn accomodation.
If interested, in being part of the UK record 'Flocking' Let me know and I'll E-Mail you further details.
Regards
Sean

Hi Mick - happy to see you on here and a warm welcome to you
I am also in Leeds so would be easy to meet up for a ride sometime - I could introduce you to some of the less reputable Birder's from the East and North Yorkshire area - you'll just need to be careful around the bar area where their arms become short and pockets deep
Had a good ride myself yesterday ending up at Robin Hoods Bay - weather turned out nice, but as you say still a little cold, although perfectly fine with the right gear on

oooooooohh - cheap skit.
Should have said you were out and about - Mrs1600 and I were just bimbling about with no where to go. Actually ended up in Hull  and Saturday was spent with Paul at the BMW (bikes) showroom - he felt like being ripped off for some gear. So although I managed a good couple of hundred miles over the weekend -nothing much achieved.
