Indeed MC, indeed, I think especially in the UK,(and especially Wales) where our weather is poorer. Dig this; Two years ago, (because I was working outside on a car) I started to become aware of just how many days of what I call "good weather" were not happening. (no rain, no wind, where one could be outside in comfort in the sun , wearing shorts and a t shirt) So much so I recorded them in my diary.
There were 14, yep a whole 14 days with no rain, no wind and sunny and warm.
Being especially aware now, and still having work to do on the car...last year, I recorded 11.
This totally depressed me. What depressed me even more was my father coming back to his "second home" in The UK, because "It's Too hot for him in Missisippi" in the summer. Grrrr.
Parts from the USA for cb750's (on the whole) are in much better shape secondhand than parts from the UK. PLUS our councils have a habit of salting the roads in winter which totally rots metal.... It's so good that folk are reproducing parts again, and we have dedicated folk like those on this forum...
