a few years ago i saw a gsxr 750 oil cooler with full knobblies at weston super mare beach race

Think that was because there was a ‘hole shot’ prize. Ie 1st to get to the end of the mile long straight.

Dunno if they still have it coz the starts are managed with seeded riders at the front in order to thin out the field & avoid the carnage.

Isn’t it. I’m trying to figure out a method of knowing when the roads are no longer icy. Once the grounds cold the air temps not a great indicator. I’m thinking of going with- If the water in the outside dog bowl is still frozen best stick with 4 wheels

Anyone got anything better?

[rennie]

I usually know when the car starts pointing sideways! 

[Tiggie]

I always know if it's especially cold through night as my cat comes into our room and makes her way underneath the quilt

A weather station. -8.7 here this morning. 

 

Having said that the roads are not icy because it's been very dry recently. The bits that catch you out are where water is still running off fields. Where that flows into the road you suddenly find your world gets interesting rather quickly.

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Yes all the fields here are both sodden and slightly frozen. 
The dew point makes a difference too because theres still moisture waiting to be frozen. Although Id imagine the dew point is out of range for that to happen at the moment.

Went to work in the cold.

Then sat in dismay for 12 hours as the snow tumbled down.....

2 hours padding to get home.

To cap it all.

Our drive is on slope up to the garage.

Yes. Lisa and the 2 then 9 or 10 year olds had to push it up

Plus I'd then finished shift for a few days, I'd obviously worked all xmas so the plan was that lisa n kids were going to the coast that morning and I'd get a few hours kip n get over early afternoon on the bike.

Was after tea and in a car when i finally made it.....lol

Dont say that Ive got new kitchen flooring stacked up waiting to be laid and I dont want to start! 
Id ignore it completely if I could but the oven is starting to drop through the floor!!

 

Hopefully your mum and son are showing a wee bit of gratitude?!
