Playing out on Sunday, last chance to say goodbye to this pathetic piss poor summer, autumn, winter of constant rain. If any of you Northern numpties fancy a last hoorah I will be meeting some of my pals at the Riverside tea rooms at Slaidburn, and then a ride up through the Trough- of -Bowland or similar. Should be at Slaidburn 10-10-30 ish, and yes I know it's going to be raining, but hey it's just rain.

I bet it's not pissing down in France nor cold as shit. If it was neither of those things here I might get the bike out too.

Nah, It's just that I love my biking, and I accept that in winter time the weather is  and I just deal with it. The main thing is I still enjoy being out .

Me too - I just choose to ride the winter bike to protect my asset. Popped into local dealer today and Saw the 2013 ZZR - missing the green stripes of 2kwacks and IMHO looks plain without em.

Also saw the new trophy.  Sorry Mr T - wont be tempting me back with that!

Feedback on me Rukka gloves - they're worth every one of the many pennies I spent.

Well I am in France for a few days and it gives me great pleasure to report a CLEAR BLUE SKY which is obviously associated with ample sunshine.  Also, cos I'm up skiing, it is rather chilly (a rather mild -1°C at resort level and -10 or so at 3 and a half thousand meters) but sun cream was applied so I don't come back looking like a tomato (again).

There is deffo something wrong with UK weather.  Glad I moved away. I have never 'tucked the bike away for the winter' because there is always at least one weekend a month where you can ride out somewhere interesting without getting rained or snowed upon.

Last year in early Jan, we did Lake Garda on the bike, Lecco and Como in Feb.... Brilliant!

Anyway, moff to sleep cos the alarm is on for 7am.. It promises to be another excellent day tomorrow.

See ya !
