Gas up - Let's Go! Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 When I woke this morning, it was almost daylight - brilliant!!! And just to add, it was well after 18:00, before the night fell good and propper. Spring is on the way, dry roads, warm breeze, bees, wasps, flies - roll on May 23rd!! Clocks change in less than 4 weeks, then it'll be getting close to 20:00 before the night falls, just think of all that riding time we've got coming.....

Yammy dodger Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 This is not what you call snow today I remember when we had five foot of the stuff, that's what I call snow. Down here in Stoke in 76 we had snow in June as I was driving to work on a noon shift. One week later we had one of the hottest summers on record. Here's hoping. .........

wild foamy Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 '76 was definately a very bizarre year i was only 6 lol Lies... dont know what you are all complaining about, i was riding all through xmas, all through the snow and the pissing rain on my trusty thrusty DT50MX, no fairings, no heated grips, very little in terms of a headlight, just my dad's old leathers to keep me warm and the moonlight to guide me home. it hasn't let me down since i sent the old big bore into meltdown and i ride it whatever the weather then again, i dont have a choice...

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 We got freezing temps on the way apparently though - we aint done yet! Yep apparently snow from wednesday :-( There you all go with your negative vibes......... now look what's happened, 15mm of the white stuff in 20 minutes last night. The gritters have gone off on thier summer holidays and the we've got Roxanne Pallet dancing on ice past the front door (she's still not very good though) Now, can we all think 'Hot sunn and a warm breeze', birds singing, wasps stuck in your lid, that pesky midge in your eye, melted tarmac, the blast of a hot exhaust while you're sitting in traffic waiting for the lights, leathers that are stuck to your legs when you get home, you know the feeling - Summer, or here in Cumbria, May23rd........

Well those positive vibes you're sending certainly are helping in my part of Kent. Sunny !! Hence, will put some miles on me'bike today too :-) When I think summer I think: girls/women scantly clad, sun, heat, leathers, smell of oil, burning rubber tyres, more girls, shinny chrome, more girls, empty open roads!! and finally .... nice cold beer - Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Summer? Here's what I think,, Greece, the mountains and Kleftiko.......

Of course, the Pyrenees in May can be a bit tricky at times..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
