How about Macro, there is a barrier there but you'll get the bikes through, might be a bit icy though, don't know how much sun it gets.

Be careful out there.

I took my bike out on thursday thinking it was looking like a cracking day. The sun was shining the skies were clear, I went all of 200mtrs and hit black ice and hit the tarmac. Now my bike is sitting on its center stand looking sorry for itself with its rear brake locked on (need to bend the lever back into shape) and a crack in the fairing. :(

Would not fancy doing slow manouvers in an icy/frosty carpark.

Thankyou, my mod 1 is tuesday but may have to do it the week after as well......

I don't have a top box. But I have some empty coke bottles (I knew having teenagers would be good for something..one day) that fit into my backpack quite nicely

Yeah i'm alright, bit bruised (used my leg to save the bike) but more worried about any frame damage i've done (found a bolt protruding at a messed up angle) and trying to figure out how to bend the rear lever back into shape.

Good to hear the car park was clear, shame about it being occupied though. :(

 :thumbsup All here rooting for you !!! Good luck  :nails  :thumbsup
Bikes don't leak oil',.... they mark their territory :o)           Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. Growing old is manditory... but growing up...well that my friends...is OPTIONAL!
