does anyone know what this summer is likely to be like, or if indeed the weather is going to pick up soon?
im itching to get the bike out of hybernation and go for a blast, but with all the salt and crap on the road at the mo its just not good. (mainly bcos i cant be bothered to give it a good clean afterwards)

I checked all the forecasts yesterday - all temps well above freezing and no rain for the next five days.
So I decided to give my bike a much-needed wash. It came up lovely even after a 10 minute clean, so I dried most of it off and left it to stand for 30 mins before I covered it up for the night.
I went back outside to find it pissing down with rain!!! :smt013
Ha -ing ha, God! :wanker

the only good year weather wise on bike was 2006, the last 3 years have been properly crap!
If my bike wasnt in bits again today would be quite a fun day tho, quite warm and mostly dry!

the only thing about riding the bike at the mo is the salt thats left on the roads. but i do really need to clean the beast up i suppose.

Rain with sunny spells.
But we are going to have an Indian summer - the monsoon part of it!
