Posted March 3, 200915 yr 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.....

March 3, 200915 yr All over the visor, leathers n bike Yeah, know what you mean though....cant bloody wait! Its p***ing down here in Stoke today...proper dreary Bring on the warmth / dry oh yep The weather was warmish a few days back, and now its crap! Ahh well, hopefully the weather will improve by the time my bike gets here towards the end of the month.
March 3, 200915 yr 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. .........
March 4, 200915 yr I set off at 5.30am and head west into town and there is a definite glow of the rising sun in mirrors now Just need the hurricanes to settle down so I can sit upright again

'76 was definately a very bizarre year....twas the year I was conceived too plenty of strange things came out of that year - me included
March 4, 200915 yr Author Down here in Stoke in 76 we had snow in June Wasn't that the year there was a water shortage? Long hot summer and all......... I know Stoke can bit a bit 'out there' I could be wrong, after all I was only 8........
March 4, 200915 yr Moderator Wasn't that the year there was a water shortage? Long hot summer and all......... I know Stoke can bit a bit 'out there' I could be wrong, after all I was only 8........ I VAGUELY remeber a water shortage - but i was only 6 lol
March 4, 200915 yr Wasn't that the year there was a water shortage? Long hot summer and all Yip that was the year I think when we had stand pipes.... Happy days Happy days. You notice now-a-days one week of sunshine and we get a hose pipe ban.
March 4, 200915 yr '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...
March 5, 200915 yr Author 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
March 5, 200915 yr Author Summer? Here's what I think,, Greece, the mountains and Kleftiko....... OK, so it's a Honda, but that Morroco in the background, happy days!!! Yes, that Honda again, but Andalucia, Gods Motorcycle Playground! Of course, the Pyrenees in May can be a bit tricky at times.....
March 5, 200915 yr There you all go with your negative vibes......... now look what's happened, an Oddball referance from Kellys' Heros? can't wait till summer, will hopefully be going on a few rideouts when a few more of my mates have got peds, gonna be a blast
