..... A wimp or is it naffing cold tonight, just been on a ride, no particular route planned so went from Sheffield out towards Barnsley then over to Huddersfield on to Hyde then over wood head and back into Sheffield.

Ride was mainly to test the HID's I put in the bike in the dark but it was really cold on the way back. Think I need more layers under my leathers!!!!

I was riding from around 6.30/7 till around midnight last night, pretty much when the sun started to do a disappearing act. I was in a T-shirt, textile jacket, jeans, boots & gloves and I felt fine.

If you've got a cat then it's probably TB that it's contracted off a badger. Mention that at the hospital when they put you in the isolation ward. Smile

No way, the ex wife is in the hospital giving birth atm(not my kid) and I seriously don't wanna bump into that Very Happy

I'll take my chances with cat flu! Sick

I've been out the the mrs' dad today for a plod round and I was lovely and warm. I did put an extra thirty on tho!

Suppose I can always take a layer off if I get too warm as I've always got the cargo net stashed under the seat I case I need to carry owt
