im just about scraping 2 hours a week at the moment due to work & weather. On the rare occaisions where I'm not at work and the weather is just about reasonable, if I look at my leathers or keys, it absolutely buckets down within about 5 minutes, which is just enough time to get fully suited and walk out the front door.

i know woefully little about bikes, so i can't say i talk much about them. qualified comments from me about bikes include the words "shiny" or "pretty".

I'm sure it was you who gave me advice on changing my oil and filter? You used technical words like "shiny sump bolt" and "pretty strap wrench"...

I like to think my talking leads to my riding. Both smooth and err ahem fast!

hehe the word shiny is all I know about a bike!!
nah seriously I've learnt a lot over this year, just asking silly questions.
Seems that every sentence has the word bike in it these days...lol

But I do ride a lot, not as much as some, but i don't do half bad for a burd. I can say i have been to all 4 corners of the UK this year(well ok only 3 as I didn't manage Ireland) plus Europe too. But only manage a couple of miles or three on the commute, but in all weathers....
And now being in the crashee gang too

Oh and i can't drive either I don't have much choice but to ride
So I am both talker and rider
