...has brought a few folk out hasn't it? There weren't many when I went to work at 7am, but there were loads on my way home between about half five and six. All sizes and shapes. I was surprised until I realised it was Sunday...

Lots of acknowlegements too, which is always nice. I've got Tuesday off. Might have to make a special effort to have a "proper" ride Wink[/list]

Lovely day to ride but god do you sweat in the gear due to the heat. Was lovely when I got a nice straight so I could get some breeze Laughing

Lots of acknowledgements too! But noticed a few wearing shorts, t-shirts, trainers Tut Tut

I went for a bit of a hoon today. Was partly ruined by the broken down HGV at knee-down roundabout but I've got my carbs sorted so I'm happy Cool

Too hot, do not like.


Bring on the rain and cold; less cops looking for an easy pull, less holiday traffic on the motorways, less kids running around not in school, less pikeys scoping the area for shiny bikes to nick and best of all, I don't end up as a boil in a bag ball of sweat.

Couldn't be arsed to get up early enough to avoid the traffic.

After about 10 all the roads would have been crawling with dozy drivers, heros on thous, and police.

5-6 in the morning on a Sunday FTW. Or after about 8, but there are normally tonnes of flies out at this point so you need to clean your visor every 3 yards.

Typically, I'm between bikes roll on tuesday! and the weather is forecast to become bollocks just as I get it.

Still, there's bound to be another sunny weekend, right? Praying
