You bloody girl!

Its really not that bad, bit of wind doesnt do you any harm.

Try riding a CBR 125 in the wind, its hardwork, but i like a challenge.

Grief, this generation are so spoilt they dont know they are born.

Yes its been a bit chilly.

Tin baths in front of the fire anyone?

[Grav]

Tin Bath?

Luxury

We had to huddle together, all 15 of us, in a puddle in't' middle o't' road and wait for a passing Charabang to rinse t'worst of us muck off.

I remember when i was a lad we had to walk to school though 6 foot deep snow...in our bare feet. And that was after i'd finished 4 paper rounds and done 6 hours down t'pit.

I was making a point, I was not expecting the Spanish inquisistion.

Oh Fuck

[MarkJ]

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

Dear Mary
Do you realise that this has been the warmest winter since 1736?

I've been riding out today from 9am-3pm today and I found myself fairly warm. Glad I bought a neck warmer yesterday.

Even in the snow/hailstorm we had on the way back to Leeds things were not that bad.

To be honest I felt colder in the car than on the bike today. Dunno why.

For most, 'getting pelted with hail and blown over the road' isn't a desired experience.

Whilst taking my 125 back to the dealers to trade in for my new bike I overtook a chap dressed head-to-toe in dayglow yellow on a monkey bike queuing with the traffic. I was filtering between the cars on the dual-carriageway and next thing I know the guy on the monkey bike is right behind me, following my lead as it were. I was genuinely worried for him as his head was level with their wing mirrors!

I just see it like this.

For 21 years of my life, I used to walk. Everywhere.

I used to walk 2 miles to school and 2 miles back every schoolday of the year because my mum could never afford a car, we used to walk through the snow for miles to go shopping and bring it home when I was little at the weekends.

I hardly ever got the bus, routes were quite limited where I grew up. and still, waiting at a stop for an hour in the middle of winter to get home from work in the middle of nowhere (Forest Row, if anyone knows it) is hardly 'comfortable'

So to me, being on a bike is the 'comfortable option' and although I was really cold, I wasn't really that arsed about spending 5 hours in the hail on Sunday night. I was more pissed off at my shoulders hurting.

Better than walking, anyway
