Hi All
Just wondering, as, to be honest a little surprised. I thought I'd have a bit of a saunter on the Mash tonight, taking in Bassets Pole. When I got there, there were far fewer bikes than I would usually expect to see. I could understand it if the weather was bad, or if it was really cold, but the weather was mild & tranquil, only other thing is it was dark .. Very strange.

Well, Rainpal® hasn't shipped yet, so obviously we can't ride in winter when it's raining. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Ive put the bandit on trickle charge as the trips out "just for fun" are getting less and less frequent now.
Will get to the point soon where its just sat there waiting for Spring and I only use the FA for commuting till then.
I've decided not to put the mitts back on it though and see how I get on with just the heated grips this winter though.

A number of the local Enfield guys have started their annual pamperthon and rewiring session in their nice warm workshops.
I might get around to washing mine. If it's not freezing, pissing down, or I have to take a server or two anywhere, I'll be on the bike. ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

Yes that must be it ... Just seemed odd, I can understand, not taking a leisure ride out in the cold and wet, but, when it's mild & dry, and it's a ride you'd regularly make. I've already noticed on my commutes, a decreasing number of bikes out. I just didn't think the climate had deteriorated that much to put the bikes into hibernation ..
Must be climate change, disrupting the hibernation cycles, just like it does for those poor hedgehogs !! ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |
