Seems that way mate. :(
I've been up since about 10 and its snowed twice, been sunny and cloudy about every five mins.
i'm like a little kid waiting for santa or something...all i keep doing is looking out there and at the sky.
I wanna ride my bike :x<stamps feet and goes off to sulk in the corner>

as long as the weather is not too extreme i am usally out rain/light snow/burning sun 8) the only thing that stops me is heavy snow or ice
it helps to build confidence on a bike as i have riden motorbikes since 0ct 05 before that it was moped's but that's another story i will post on the soho massive forum soon :oops:

Im just going out, my fishpond isnt frozen so that is my barometer :P As long as the sun is shining the roads must be ok (famous last words) :shock:
It looks like time for a blatt about before getting back to the bar for a ?
Babycham Sid????? :P
What a lovely day, been out and washed the bike, even made a half hearted attempt to polish a few bits as well. Took the bike down to the local tesco's to fill the tank ready for the week. It's now sitting outside posing in the sun. Shame by Monday night it will be filthy and covered in road crap again. :roll: :roll: Oh well. At least it looks clean (to a degree) at the moment. If there is anyone coming this way for a ride, do stop in for a coffee and a warm up. :wink: :wink:
its snowed here again this morning.... while the sun was shining too....
swear Im living in the wrong part of the bloody country.... really getting fed up with it.... :evil:
the sun hasnt melted the snow around my bikes so theyre not going anywhere and I cant even go out and clean them its too cold.... oh its the sheet ice thats still around too being another factor theyre not moving and Im not going anywhere....
hope everyone else has fun.... Im reading books and doing some yoga to relax.... rather be on my bike but that aint gonna happen....
right... off to the met office site to find out what the kent weathers gonna be like for next week....
I went to the essex meet, on the way back i got a puncture on the front tyre. I noticed it when i went arround a rabout. Thing felt like a truck, it would not turn in. I filled it with air thinking it was because of the new air valves i have. Went five miles again it was flat. I got though the blackwall tunnel and it was so flat i decided to stop before i could find another garage. Called the RAC, 1h later the guy fixed the puncture with one of thoes elastic thingies. Then went home.
Nice end for the day.
Always carry a puncture repair kit. ;)
.
Another thing to take with me now, but you also need one of thoes cans of air.
Are thoes repair kits the same as the RAC ones, you find the puncture and make the hole bigger and then put a elastic thing in it with a special tool and glue?
Yes they're basically the same. And if you haven't got any small air canisters then providing you can make it to a garage you can then do the repair and then use their air.
Do note that it's only a temporary repair and that you ought to take it in to your local bike tyre place and get them to make a permanent repair.

I had nice easy ride out to the Ace on Sunday, saw loads of funny three wheelers, including a boat !!. Yup, road legal to.
Cold must have taken day off elsewhere, it was loverly, especially when I toasted digits on hot grips. No problem there with cold fingers and zippers at the loo.
