Cheers mike, ...and here's me driving 470 miles later today to the south coast for my holidays

Weather men.......blah

I honestly cant complain up here , weve had weeks of great weather up till about 2 weeks ago,but it's very mixed now.
It's still clear,i can see the isle of Arran from my window,and thats around 30 miles away,so it's not too bad right now.

It's clear enough here BP...

It just rains at random moments trying to do some work in our back yard with electrics...pain in the derek.

past caring what the poxy weather does, been sh*t from the 1st day I got back on a bike almost 2 years ago. I'll ride in anything short of a monsoon now.

Despite multiple heavy downpours today, I managed to fit (at the kerbside) an R6 Regulator/Rectifier, and an alarm system. Remote start.... useless, but very cool.
Wish I had a garage, this weather is so unpredictable.

rain so much today, the bike aquaplaned on way to work, at work loads a bloody cancelled flights, been non stop all sodding day

Mike,

I use Metcheck too, but also use the BBC weather forecast which I find pretty accurate for me. None of them get it right everytime though
There's two Stockton-on-Tees according to the BBC link, so don't know if this one (Middlesbourgh) is the correct one

Chris.

PS. According to what my better half heard, this is the way it's going to be for July and August from now on, it's called Global Warming apparently, more like Global Wetting I'd say. They may be right, it's been like it for the last two years

Same here, weather is sunny, but my front calipers are stipped down awaiting new seals

I'm off out in a bit to make the most of it.
Middlesbrough is just a couple of miles up the road Chris, but I think they just stick any old weather on it... anything north of the Watford gap doesn't exist to the people who make these sites...

Well according to the BBC link, they got it right this time. Best get going then as it's coming in wet later so they say

I don't know if that's true (Re:- anything north of the Watford gap), but funny you should mention Watford Gap, my missus is from Watford.

I hope you enjoy your ride out

Chris.

Yeah, most people you see out on one ride like they're asleep....

I've just spent the last hour down the beach with the dog........wee bit breezy but a lovely day apart from that

Lovely day here, just got back in after being on the bike for hours just riding around

Got sun burnt watching Rossi and the boy's baccking it in to redgate, and the mardy Australian backing it in to the gravel trap
