AndrewElvisFan Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 can you give some tips to foamy? I could but I wouldn't wish to get the blame for any posts that may appear if I did!
Moderator Cynic Posted March 21, 2014 Moderator Posted March 21, 2014 You know sometime is good to be a little bit older.. Riding home last night I stopped alongside a dt. Im a bit fed up with the rain. He had an open face lid, normal clothes, trainers and no gloves. Think he was really pissed by it.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 2, 2014 Moderator Posted April 2, 2014 It was like an October ride to work this morning. Where's the sun?
AndrewElvisFan Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 It's over my house! Even taken the thermal liner out of my jacket.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 2, 2014 Moderator Posted April 2, 2014 I took the thermals out in February and had jeans on this morning but still cold. Brrrrrrr.
Daviedevs Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Taken the Guzzi to the office for last couple of days..Nothing like a 5 30 am start to get you awake for the day.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 10, 2014 Moderator Posted April 10, 2014 Nice to see some dry roads this morning. A few bikers out to play on my ride to work so I could give the FZ a bit of a work out. 1
finnerz89 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I've been wearing jeans for the past few days, going for the jacket liner removal today I think Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
bippo Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 We've had quite a mild winter this year. Very wet, but mild in comparison to recent years. I stayed in kevlar jeans all throughout it and kept the thermal liner out of my jacket. Just been wearing winter socks (knee high), my jeans, two cycling base layers and bike jacket. Only struggled on a couple of trips where I had to crunch miles on the motorway (over 200) so the wind chill ended up getting to me. Wore a fleece to try and help but it didn't do much in all honesty. Needless to say I'm saving up for a better kit, but for now my collection of basic protection, old cycling gear and light waterproofs have seen me through. Understandably my current bike has more wind protection when compared with my YBR (plus heated grips), but I consider myself lucky this winter! Enjoyed every minute of the weather and hope we have a cracking 2014.
AndrewElvisFan Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Indeed - excellent weather compared to previous winters. Only had 3 or 4 mornings when the roads were a little slippy. Re kit - there were a couple of days I slipped the elvis onesie on under the leathers!
finnerz89 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Yeah I moaned about the wet but it was a hell of a lot better than having to ride in the snow! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
obriens65 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 It would have been a criminal waste if I hadn't ridden my bike on a day like this. A few pics from deepest Hampshire:
Moderator drewpy Posted April 13, 2014 Author Moderator Posted April 13, 2014 I managed to get out for a few hours, but it was bloody freezing
obriens65 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I managed to get out for a few hours, but it was bloody freezing Where are you? I had beautiful blue skies, bright sunshine and I baked in my bike gear.
shaun_1990 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I did not manage to get out on the bike today which saddens me however I did get out in the car and move out of the way of lots of bikes (being a kind fella) made me jealous though! ill be out next week!
