...hasnt hit here yet...and as long as it stays dry for the next 2 hours ill get home dry....forgot my raineis on the way in tonight, and i dont like soggy :(

[ogden]

Speaking as something of a weekend warrior, I'll be taking the tube today.

Hope it's good at the weekend though, got the thick end of 1500 miles to do.

[CarlosSV650S]

Weathers lashing it down here,

Where r u off m8 to cover 1500 miles ??

[ogden]

France.

A quick peek at Google Maps suggests it might be more like a thousand than fifteen hundred so I may have to find some extra twisty bits to rack up the extra mileage.

[CarlosSV650S]

Nice one. Hope you get the weather for it m8.

Have a good one.

well if it never rained in April.. i would be worried....

Do what it wants as long as it dries up for Thursday. I've got a test day at 3 Sisters on my newly built CBR6, so I dont want to be puddle hopping on my 1st time out on it :(

[Owenski]

Got soaked on the way into work today, took the slower roads as my throttle issues are giving me a headache. I know how davenumbers feels now, fix one thing another part brakes :( not the weather to be riding the autobahn that is the M62/M621 on a morning.

[ogden]

I see severe weather warnings are up for the North West.

Rain in April, eh? Who'd have thought it.

[Baph]

What are you lot whinging about, it's perfectly sunny here. :D

*runs*

[ophic]

I've had to put plastic cups on the floor all round where my jacket is hanging to catch all the drips, or the carpet will end up sodden. One of those days where visibility is more of a problem than traction.

[Thingus]

Rained over-night here, i hope that trend stays that way.

[Owenski]

Just stopped raining, but hard rain to come. No doubt around tea time :(

[yorkie_chris]

Meh and I've gotta go to uni and back. Hate wearing waterproofs!

[dizzyblonde]

So its raining, bleh, not in here it ain't :-)
Theres been not much in the way of wet stuff all month, its supposed to be raining. Its much needed on my garden.
I don't get wet on the bike anyway, I got good riding gear...yay! Although it does mean my bike gets mucky :-(
Whatever, as long as theres plenty of the stuff over next weekend while I'm on nights i really don't care!

+1 ;)

[krhall]

Did the usual wash and wax on Friday night, it's been undercover since get it out and now its wet and dirty....it was sunny too when I left home so I wore leathers - oh well!

[missyburd]

Sunny here atm but I got rained on walking back from uni lol. Tis a shame one can't tan through glass, I'd be brown as a berry by now sat here doing work!

[urbane1]

At the moment I would settle for some rain. I finally got my bike out of winter storage on Wednesday morning and it snowed Wednesday afternoon! We had 5 cm on Thursday, 10 cm last night and they are forcasting another 15 cm today. Glad I left the winter tyres on the car!

+1 On my way to work this morning I couldnt see much through my visor, and my mirrors were even worse! I still got the obligatory 'have you come on your bike?' from one of the morons in the office too :roll:
