Well did Rufforth as the orchestra thing was called off.

Thankfully managed a quick tour of the outside stalls before the rain really started. Didn't get chance to have a good old rummage though. There was a lot less stalls o/s than usual, weather forecast maybe?

By 'eck it belted down while we were in the barn - cleared the o/s stalls in about 1/2 an hour -

Mate picked up some new kickstart rubbers for his '67 BSA Thunderbolt - What's a kickstart?

I got me a nice hydraulic cable oiler - cheaper than e-blag. Nearly got a compressor as well but just couldn't make my mind up which one - Doh!

Weather fined up as we left

Typical - went over Saddleworth this avo, to, as far as I know, the only British / Classic bike shop there is left in North of England!!!! The sunshine was un believable after this mornings deluge. Rang Wor Lass at dog display over Wakey way twas thunder & lightning and rain like stair rods

Some nice bikes at Saddleworth and reasonably priced too. Shame the Panther 100 had gone!!!

Still few BSAs, Triumphs, Nortons & a nice Matchless.

Oh well, see what weather we get Sunday

I had a ride to Devon on Friday,did'nt rain that much until i got to micheal wood service's. After filling up i parked to put on rainsuit from tankbag

bumock's left on kitchen table

still did'nt get to wet.
I had a ride to Exeter on Saturday to get another suit at a shop called Speed, if you look on the tinternet they have discount voucher's 10% off

On Sunday when sober getting ready for the return journey the cloud's were gathering so on went the suit,
The only rain with a chance of getting me soaked was at Ripley 4 mile's from home

My first good ride since the accident and loved every minute of it.
500 mile's still make's my butt ache, need to get some more time in the saddle so i can make it to Misano for the Moto GP without bursting into tear's. Anyone fancy a trip to Italy

Feck me!!!!

It's back with a vengence now!!!

Woman who delivers local free paper reckons it's due to drop a months worth of rain in a day!!!!

The way it's coming down ATM I can believe it too!

Car for work tomorrow then

Look out Sheffield & Toll Bar

Still, should just be able to hook up temp homes and tow them to high ground!

If it reaches bottom of my road, I'm building a feckin ARK - or better still, go nick a RIB from dive club up t' road!!!

Rain in the SE is dreadful. Unreal amount.
Probably due to me about to do a weeks touring on the VTR in the SW. Lidls rain suit might get a good workout. It was not expensive, but one of the best I have ever used. Hope not to have to prove its worth though!!!!!

Funny that,

I was only thinking the other day that LSM hadn't posted a Lidl, Aldi or Netto weekly bargains link for a while!

Well it wasn't raining when I got up, but looked terribly like i was going to, lots of very dark clouds! So decided to go to work in the car - got to work, about 7 miles away, bloody sun was crackin' t' flags!

Been a bit overcast from time to time through the day, got home now and it's bright, very warm and bloody sunny!!

Oh well
