They have so much compact ice around there that they will not give anybody a bike. They did offer to deliver free of charge during the week - but I will probably be at work - so I said I would will wait till I can ride it home.
I did try to convince them that I could push it accross the grass to the main road.
Anyway - I.m praying for a thaw. Hope to try again next Saturday.
Did ask if I could come and look at it in the show-room - but it was still in the warehouse. - Very grumpy.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Oh that's got to feel harsh, like having all your Christmas pressies taken away.
Anyway fingers crossed for a thaw this week and roll on Saturday [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img]

So far so good
Too dark in the evenings to get piccies - and will probably have to get 600 mile service on Saturday.
Will attempt to post piccies on Sunday

My definition of a comfy seat:
You can sit on it for a tank full of petrol - so I had to do a 200 mile stint to find that out. Had to work in Birmingham on Monday so rode the Tenere.
Pleased - love it in rush-hour town traffic.
