Bloody hell, we have had a rain storm like no other just go over us, the sky went black, like night, and it peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed down, hail, thunder the lot......

Confused

We now have leaks in the office and the car park is flooded, looks like I may be spending the night here.

Just to piss you all off, I've got bright sunshine here in Lincoln! Wink

Although, I'd actually like there to be a really really good thunderstorm here, don't think we're going to get it though.

Just had a big one here in the West Mids. Roads flooded in seconds and half cm sized hail. I had literally just got in and garaged the bike. Rolling Eyes

Seriously wouldn't fancy being on the road in that one.

I rode home in a torrential storm today. I now have black tiger stripes all up both arms where the dye ran in my leather jacket!

It actually was a lot of fun riding in those conditions, knowing that all of the diesel was being washed away...

I'll have to clean the bike now though! Sad

It's looking not too friendly here at the moment, it's yet to start raining or thundering though.
