Winter is here!
Well, a weekend of fun and games on nights culminated in a shocking night of bad weather last night. Sideways sleet, gale force winds and leaves ankle deep on some sections of motorway.
Some bugger in an Audi A3 got away from me after a ten minute pursuit by going down an alley the X5 wouldn't fit through - not a happy bunny, doesn't happen often, but the boss doesn't approve of dented jeeps. Then, the temperature dropped again and it became truly miserable.  News report My bike hasn't been out for weeks, I'm doing the football (on a job bike) at Eastlands on Wednesday and the weather looks similar to last night. Overall, it's hibernation time. Thanks for listening, Tired and sleepy, Pete

Re: Winter is here!

Re: Winter is here!
Hell yes, and today I took delivery of 180bhp of rear wheel drive fun
 I was in near Hexham last week and could see snow on the pennines. Then on Sunday going across to Rockingham it was sleeting. I think we could be due a proper winter again.
