I can't help but think there is something wrong with that image.. hmmmm i may need some sleep

I did and i survived!

Forgot about this thread.. Friday in the Peak District.

You ride a Labrador? Is it a GTi?

My other beastie Damian (currently mothballed and still costing £££££!)

My beastie..

A bit quicker than walking. I like mine but i have nothing to compare it to sorry i'm not much help.

I was still in bed at 11 but i did manage to go out for a little bit.. just got in now and i'm freezing!

Might have a drive up too if the weather is crap.

What time were you thinking?

Mine have been ok, my eyeballs still itch but its not to do with the contacts. Better than binns.

WRONG x50

Did anyone go to this? Is it worth me going tomorrow as couldn't be bothered getting out of bed this morning.

I'll probably be going to this tomorrow.

Might be up for meeting some people at the Cat and Fiddle, its a bit closer than Matlock. If you don't mind a 125 tagging along...

Come on people... i want to see Phil (the graceful creature that he is ) on the ice!

Disappointed i couldn't make this but i'm not going out in that sort of weather without some sort of roof and heating. Hopefully i'll be able to make it another time.

As long as the weather is like it was yesterday.

I think i might need one of these, got to be safer than riding down the ground looking at the floor because its too bright to look up? And they look good!

You've just reminded me my gloves have been in the airing cupboard since thursday so i'm expecting them to be like quavers.. off to check.

Those silk liners look good, i'll have a look in some camping type shops.

Thanks for the replies, i completely forgot about waterproofing and the nik-wax is next to my telly so i look at it every night. Doh!

I know this is a bit lame but i don't know how to dry my leather gloves properly. I know putting them on the radiator is a bad move because they just go crispy on the outside and stay damp on the inside. I got some warm inner glove type things but tbh i can't really bend my fingers when i wear them with my normal gloves and thats not good at all. Has anybody got any magic tips? PS. I bought a bike for fair weather commuting and occasional fun but since my car is limping its way into early retirement i am now going to be an all season biker and i'm well happy about it. Honest.

Mines completely standard and is still refusing to go above 63mph even downhill with me curled up and tucked like a little wet sock.

I tried on every pair of boots when i was in HG they've got so much patience, in the end i got the only pair that were comfortable even though they cost double what i wanted to pay
