Sorry just need a rant been out on the storm got 5 miles away from home and it p****d down so now very wet and fed up. This country sucks needs dragging towards some sunny weather for a bit

Agree. Weathers been a real bitch lately.

Funny you should say that. I put a Policy on my website a few weeks ago which deals with this very issue. click

I was having a frustrating month!

Brilliant stuff Stratman. I particularly liked the piece on hunting.

That is why god invented goretex!!! I saw a test in PB where it revealed that acceleration was unaffected by the wetness of the road. Speed in straight lines is great fun. You just have to slow down a lot when you get to a corner!

Brownie points to anyone who remembers Graeme Garden trying to drag the country "outside the 5 mile limit".

Beginning to sound like an R1 rider there Mellis... Is that the effects of the SP talking?



No rain over here. In fact, no water at all. I'm in the first city in Australia to reach Level 5 water restrictions (there ain't no level 6...). We're not even allowed to water plants with a watering can or wash vehicles using a bucket anymore. Windscreen & mirrors are it unless you go to a car-wash that recycles the water. People are so scared, neighbours are dobbing each other in for using hoses or sneaking a car wash in the back yard... Gotta look on the bright side though, it's great for motorcyclists!

If more rain doesnt drop here soon were gonna be on a water ban too.
Were allowed to use anythin we want but only have one hour to do it in.

Ha bloody ha You'd understand if you lived somewhere that means you have to like riding in the wet if you use a bike to commute

Yeah, deep down I understand... I only have my Storm, so rain, hail or shine, it's in two wheels I trust.

I see an opportunity to bottle and sell your urine.

I dunno what a bunch '0' pooftahs, anyone would think it rained ice and fireballs here and not water....Jeeze went into work fri and it was seriously pissing down and had one of my best rides yet! with the crap all washed off the road in. i was surprised at the lean angles i was doing and there was bags of grip too..in fact i took nearly five minutes off my best dry time couldnt wait to finish work and ride home but the rain had stopped and some muppet had left an eight mile diesel slick from blairgowrie to home on both sides of the road, right all over the twisty bits you could smell the stuff... anyway ride in the rain you learn lots...pooftahs....

well my wife keeps rubbin it in that its over 60 degrees where she is in texas iam moving there next year well to cut a long story short i went over to spend 3 months there last year and brought her back here last march well was 80ish degrees when we flew to manchester where it was snowing and i had 3 months of no bike and i missed riding so i took her out for a ride out from home to the chipy in thirsk then to helmsley then off to stokesley and in to yarm and home 94 miles ish well when i got her off the bike she didnt seem happy (my name had so many cuss words in front of it) well she said she was cold and i had a grin from ear to ear cos i thought we had a good ride well it was 4 degrees and dry she said she will only come back to the uk in the summer now well at least she will go on the back of the bike again well she did have a choice she could have walked home and i would have had my butt kicked lol

I am easily amused.
