It truly is and fast. Got caught in a huge down pour about an hour ago and I'm soaked through Sad

Bloody summer has never really came and now its going!

Nearly came off too, that shell grip stuff has worn away at a bridge I was passing leaving a nice strip of slidy wet stuff underneath. I hit that whist slightly leaned over and throw the whole bike towards the wall Shocked

Somehow, dunno how I missed it but my left wrist is killing me as is my right ankle has it went down to try and stop me coming off....

I hate this pashy weather Crying or Very sad

Weekend should be good!
but i know what you mean, i was riding like i normally do in the summer/loads of grip in the wet Shocked , put to much power down as i pulled from some traffic lights and went over a man hole cover, back end jumped about half a foot to the right, needless to say i took it very steady out there.
hope everyone keeps a very close grip on them selfs and realises that there is hardly any grip in comparision to the summer! guess a very stupid newbie error Rolling Eyes Embarassed

Autumn is approaching. Sad

Almost time to get the cardboard box and fill it with paper etc and pop it in under stairs cupboard and go to sleep in it for a few months.

I'll have to set my alarm for spring.

Utterly pished it down earlyer, streams on either side of the road, people actually slowing down because it was so bad! faring helped, didn't help my non water proof gloves though Sad

One the way home tonight it was frickin freezeing, lucky i had some wintery emergency gear at the ready in the trusty top box!

Yesterday I got soaked, rivers running across the road, this morning the tyres just wouldn't warm up, bike was squirming about everywhere. Crying or Very sad

Well, thats summer over and done with, looks like it'll be crash season again shortly, where all the n00bs forget to slow down for the weather change and stack it.
