Mine is getting bad now aswel, its nearly 7 weeks since I was out (we've had 7 weeks of crap weather here). Partially relived it with the purchase of a set of leathers. 5th Jan the bike starts to be disassembled to sort a few things out! Right where's my Machine mart catalogue to go drool over

Re: Biker's itch?
Roads around here are just awful. No way I'm risking my bike let alone me. I will ride in most weather but ice is a no no. It hasn't risen above freezing here for about 2 weeks now. Last night was -15C, Christmas Eve -20C. Tonight positively tropical at -7C. More snow forecast for tomorrow late afternoon, we deserve a really good summer after all this crap. But by then I'll have forgotten how to ride

Re: Biker's itch?
Yeah, hopefully the forecast is right.....but then it leads us into Jan and Feb which are usually very cold.....for it all to freeze again.

Re: Biker's itch?
in 4 weeks, prior to christmas, i only managed 3 day commutes. my bike is full of road debris and salt. i can't wash my bike because i live on a steep hill and all of the neighbours complain when the road freezes with my wash water, to be honest they have a point.
all i do is to cover it with acf50. i've got to get out and soon, but as i look out its just started to snow. |
