Is it ever going to warm up!
Re: Is it ever going to warm up!
I'm in the Ardennes at the moment and the only thing that cheered me up after the ice warning lit up on the bike was the fact that I've brought my heated jacket with me. It's supposed to improve tomorrow so I might not need the heated kit but I'm not banking on it.
Re: Is it ever going to warm up!
Its supposed to be better next week, dry from Tuesday, then sunny from Wednesday with 15 degrees, Thurs 18 degrees, Fri 21 degrees, some showers forecast for next weekend but temperatures staying up at 20/21 degrees.
And I got new Kevlar jeans today! Whohoo!

Re: Is it ever going to warm up!
I hope not - a real hotty here means over 40º sometimes - yes, in the Pyrenees! - and at over 35º every day for weeks on end, not good for the likes of you-know-who! :whistle:artic fox wrote:My son lives there, he was just riding home from work and got caught in it and apparently some thunder and lightning. I was in London today and one minute the sun was burning my leg through the car open window next it was hailing and then snow followed by more sun and it done this all day, what I can tell you is every year that its snowed in April we have had a good summer and the earlier in the month the better the summer. back in 1990 it snowed in the first week as it did up to 94 and we had hosepipe bans and the reservoirs were drying out all around the country.
Meanwhile there's a blizzard visible just up the valley from the terrace of our holiday cottage*, that's what he's looking at! (thumbs)

Re: Is it ever going to warm up!
Had to return home and take my thermal linings out today as I was too hot on the bike today. Probably a mistake and it will be snowing next week... :whistle:

Re: Is it ever going to warm up!
Bloody cold with frost first thing but warm by midday in Narfolk and a lovely ride, quite amusing overtaking a bike sat at the back of a queue of cars only for him to decide to overtake then, follow me for a few yards then overtake me travelling faster than he was previously, guess some bikers don`t like being overtaken :whistle: and yes no matter how fast you go down the straight on your 1200 GS an S10 will still be sitting behind you :laugh:
Unfortunately came across an accident on my way home, few bikes parked up, green bike on verge and woman lying in the road with an obviously broken leg, told the operator on the phone it was a compound fracture as I could see the femur poking out :sick:
Be careful out there guys

Fantastic pic's Simon, like the Dog.
Weather not too bad yesterday in Moray took the old Transalp for a good run after passing yet another MOT I keep saying its time to go and the old girl keeps passing and making me feel guilty, bit colder today mind but this place has its own eco system.
