Probably because there is so much water down here at the moment that using a hose may lead to flooding..

not quite...but all the rain were getting is probably being wasted by the water companys as we speak
i heard the other day that THA**S WATER (disguised for legal reasons lol) caused outrage by having the whole of the front of their building jetwashed to clean it
a bit rich (if true) dont ya think

I recommend that they issue Oxford Stormex Covers to the entire population. Everytime it rains, It collects cr@p loads of water in the bottom of it.
So much for being the dogs bananas, Ride magazine you ****s!
Just don't look at the forecast for next week :cry:

glorious sunshine this morning been out since 9am but then at 1:50pm the heavens opened on hartside and it aint stopped since :lol: :lol:
I had quite a nice ride in the rain today, that is until the SV decided it wanted to be a 325 single. ( I will get round to buying a fenda extenda one day).
Thankfully I was quite close to my mates house and he let me use his garage to sort it out.
Plus has anyone invented a self cleaning bike yet ?

Today was the first day in about 6 months i've had to put on my all-in-one waterproof. Up until now my waterproof overcoat that i wear in winter (as a wind blocker) had been enough.

Yep Biggin Hill, It's a nice ride through Keston to get there which is an added bonus. So watch out for a wobbly Cessna overhead this weekend.

Where's the shop. Might have a look round if it's cancelled again. Thought about doing the Top Gun thing and racing my bike against the planes but think I'll beat them. Well the small ones anyway.

Bats are NEVER open on Sundays,so bear that in mind!
And they're expensive! :wink:
Anyway,theres a nice greasy-spoon,'Scrambles',1st left as you leave roundabout!
Watch out for the puddles though,they are DEEP pot holes!
Have fun with your flying lesson,thats something I must try,especially as I live in B.Hill!
