Title: "Worst Winter" on its way ? ...
Post by: Rusty on October 13, 2013, 09:23:42 PM
I have just read that the weather for November is forecast to be really cold and snowy    :eek: :eek: ... apparently its all to do with high winds that are forcing pressure south and allowing Arctic wind and snow to get down to us here in the jolly UK.
Sounds awful, with phrases like "records will be broken" ... and "massive disruption" ... I think many of our bikes are doomed to some serious winter storage !
Lets hope they are wrong. :yes: :yes:

I recently sold my Piaggio X9 250 commuter scooter and bought myself a Gilera Fuoco

I must be blessed with knowledge and foresight

I ride all year round... won't be bringing the GTR out though, I'll probably stick to the GS.

Rusty will be pleased as punch cutting through the snow on his GS while we all struggle with the GTR's.  :hammer:
