top marks for remembering mate 

I didn't go out on my c5 coz I was at work today, commuting the 36miles each way on a loan bike (my 900 diversion is awaiting repair after I was knocked off on 29th December) .The display on the loan bike was showing air temperature of  -10  .......and I had ice forming inside my visor
so yeah, I agree it was a bit nippy out  .

Anyone else brave the elements to celebrate the launch date ?

Sorry to here about your bike mate, hope you was ok, at least if get you hit in a c5 you dont have quite as far to fall before hurts.

cheers mate - luckily no injuries, probably coz I wasnt even moving when the car collided with my bike  ...cant say much more at the moment as it is still going through the insurance companies  .

with hindsight I should have used my c5 today, at one point I was wobbling along at a mere 17mph ,not much faster than a c5

i went to the shop and for a ride round the village on agro with about 10 kids on bikes in tow asking me what it was and where did i get it lol. Nothing i have ever driven gets attention like a c5 dose every time i go out on one i never fail to get some sort of reaction out of passers by asking me what it is or the local asbo kids giving it a cheer as i cruise past lol

the thing with youngsters taking a liking to the c5 is that they take it
at face value and tend to think its quite cool - they haven't got any pre-formed ideas coz they're too young to remember all the negative publicity  .
