Sorned my M5 on last day of Oct. Not a lot of point paying £585 and not using it for the next 3 months or so.
Went out on the bike for a couple of hours yesterday just because it was foggy. 100 mts viability or so so not unsafe.
Went because i don't ever remember having ridden in the fog and i needed a bit of a kick. Surprising how wet fogg is.

£21 a year for the Grom !!! Reckon it should be free though, the thing can do 150 MPG..... 4 Months today and still no sign of a finish date, apparently the Boss is working on it. Did you take the Wing ? fog is horrible to ride in not just from the Visability POV but as you say, It's so wet.... gets in all the nooks and crannies.

Yes. Screen up, heated grips on #4, heated seat on #5, legs tucked in, balaclava thing on, propper cosy it was
I think i'd be smashing someones windows if they had my litlle Grom for that long. Bet it's got about 14,000 miles of testing on the clock when you get it back

To be honest, I quite like riding in the rain as long as I'm dry..... yes I do feel a tad Angry now... it better be good when it's all done...

I still think I should have been unleashed on those who have imprisioned your Grom.
I might be short, but a bite in the knee is going to get someone's attention. How I wish I was there...
I think you should ring every day for a progress report. They'll be glad to give it back once they've had a few calls.

Think on the bright side, by the time you get it back it will be a classic bike.

Nightmare.
How far is it from home?
I’d be going in every day asking for an update.
