was a bit windy this morning wasnt it...still not as cold as i thought it was going to be,either that or my cold/wet weather gear is actually pretty good


im still enjoying riding to work

[Hyperion]

Yeah it was mad...I had to tuck in behind a lorry's slip-stream to avoid being blown across the road. My arms still ache from fighting with the bike to keep it upright!!
I'm not looking forward to the ride home much!

me neither

the rain's going sidways past my office window

should be interesting splashing home later on,fortunatly most of my route home is shelterd unclassified roads up through wooods and such like,I wonder if there will be any bits of tree blown down!

[AndyDRZ]

Hehehe

I was doing a wheelie down a country lane... as I went passed a gate I was blown very sideways - luckily moving my bulbous arse to counter the wind did the trick

Did get a bit of a 1 wheel wobble though...

Same here. So I just drove the 200yds to my local Tesco Express!

I had my Test cancelled today due to the weather, that's now One failure and Two cancellations
Hope fully I can get some more time off and get in for it again.

I was going to post in the fastest slowest thread.
I've got a CG and a 1200 Bandit, at the moment the CG is the fastest thing I own

I got off lightly this morning, dry and not to breeze, so had some fun this morning. It's bloody miserable out there now though.

yeah i know tbh i wouldnt be so chipper about it if i was on my fireblade but the DRZ is doing pretty good so far,my route to work is mainly unclassified country lanes

this is what im commuting on...have since fitted the full size plate after getting knicked for it

[Carl-H]

By unclassified do you mean tracks like your bike is on in that picture? I can't think of a better commute to work than offroad.

I find the extra weight of the Falco makes it easier to cope with the breeze. It doesn't seem to get knocked about as much as the SV does. I don't know if the blade would be the same in that regard - it's probably a lot lighter than the Falco.

its dry and calm all of a sudden!!! very bizzare

i can even see blue sky breaking through


im looking forward to the snow tomorrow and saturday
