Mind you I'd rather be here in the rain than out there in the Sachsenring... proper heros to ride full chat in that.. 

[Mogster]

I've just had a thought ....as I sit here, bored to tears... watching yet more rain dribble down the window......

This shite weather has saved me a load of dosh..... yaaaaay  .... by my reconing I'm about 2,500 miles down on my usual yearly average...oooh just think of all that Petrol I've not used... I'm sure the Baby Polar Bears are all smiling and dancing .

and I haven't had to change the tyres yet....

oooh still my beating heart..

Ferk me lads,   It's all just part of what we get. It's weather , that thing that every single person on the planet today has to deal with on a  daily basis. Rain will not make you disolve. For gods sake stop bleating about the weather, there are millions of people in the graveyards, that would just love to ride a motorbike in the rain.!!!!!!!!!!!Rain !!!!!!!!!!!!Should't stop you getting out on your bikes.  Unless of course you are a soft arse.

[Winston Smith]

it's not the riding - it's the cleaning the shoite off afterwards!

And drying the sodden kit too!

OK when it turns nice, dries as you ride but a bugger when it's constantly damp!

[Kwikasfuki]

I don't mind riding in the rain cause the bike doesn't get cleaned afterwards anyway.

Today, blue skies, was contemplating going over the A roads home. Thankfully I didn't. Got to J22 fo the M62 west bound and the blue skies disappeared. Absolutely soaked in the 10 mins it took to get home.

I thought global warming was supposed to be higher temperatures and more sun.

Nope according to the doom merchants aka Enviro-mental-ists its all about the higher tempatures evaporating more sea water, moving the jet stream, and thus we have a shit summer.........

It's also about about going fookin sideways everywhere as I no longer have traction control..... justa 140BHP of Evil, Vicious, bad tempered Italian V twin, which tries to kill me everytime i take it out in the wet...

Went out l ast Saturday to Demon Tweeks in Wrexham on the GTR, got wet, went out on the GTR on Wednesday night, got wet, went out into Manchester on the train on Saturday, very warm and sunny, went to Matlock on Sunday on the GTR, got very wet. Great isn't it? It's still raining in Stockport.

Where are you Pistole? No location in your profile and you are not on the Member Map.

Actually we don't have the worst weather but we do have some of the wettest weather in the western hemisphere right now.
The climate in the UK is usually rather mild.
Normal years it never gets over 30C or below 0C.
We generally don't get tornadoes, hurricanes, or other extreme weather.

However, the last few years have not been normal.
3 months ago we had droughts declared over most of SE England.
Now we have flooding and much sogginess.
