I done my CBT in the pouring rain. It wasn't even that bad.

I rode from Newcastle to Manchester last night it heavy snow. *Not* fun at all. What was most difficult is when the condensation on the inside of the visor froze, and I couldn't see a bleedin' thing. Opening the visor on the motorway in sub-zero conditions wasn't much fun either

Read the post ogden.

I am not whinging about getting wet.

Im whinging about the fact that i've spent 1-2 hours giving my bike a proper clean over from all the road crap, salt, dirtr and grime

Only to have it trashed again withing 2 minutes of riding nice clean bike

6 weeks in a row

Every monday morning.

Can I not write english or something, as it seems everyone is banging on about that they prefer rain to snow? Or are you lot jsut not reading?

Im no girl, getting wet doesn't bother me. 6 weeks having a clean bike for 1 night, to get trashed the next day does.

awww booo hoooo, count yourself lucky you can get out on your bike at all. I can't get my bike out for the foot deep snow that is encasing my back garden, hmmmm dig it out you say?? Well I would if that didn't include the other three neighbours gardens that i have to get through to even get to the road...

Washing your bike at the moment is a luxury, mine has been sat in filth for a couple of months now, I don't class the tepid water and mild soapy stuff i threw at it a fortnight ago a full wash. My polished rims are getting corroded, the downpipe is not shiny


Its not as if I can drive either...
Can anyone guess its like cabin fever in here, think I might start rattling my tin cup up and down the gates in a plea for mercy!

I'd quite like to be able to ride my bike in order to get it dirty, but I'm not allowed to at the moment.

would you like to stand with me and rattle your tin cup up and down the gates too?? At least when all this cacky snow has gone I'll be able to get out. How long are you to stay off the bike for?
