Just been out on the bike, was going to George whites but got as far as Nam and it rained
Came back and am now cold and wet and I have to go out and wash my bike.
I feel like loading up the bike and pissing off to Spain for a few months 8-)
England sucks in the winter :'(

[Swanny]

I'm bloody frozen just back from George whites
That's it for me the bike is being washed tomorrow then put in the conservatory till it warms up again.
When I was 16 17 I was out in all weathers, too old for that now :-/

Me too Swanny, beast away till March. I can live with the fair weather label. Done my time through the winters and the toes and fingers won't put up with it anymore :'(

I wish I could afford a small flat in the south of Spain - after all we are all Europeans now :P :

I pottered about for 30 plus miles today,

It was feckin ace

I agree with the all weather riding lark, my miles are purely social these days.

I don't understand the idea of only riding for 6 months of the year though,

There are plenty of good riding days in the other 6.

Kev. With you on that. Did about 50 miles today and loved every one. It was cold but...so what? Roads were okish and the sun was in attendance for some of the time. Lovely! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Based on my own personal experiences of riding bikes for 35 years, I think it’s fair to say that a school of thought (to a lesser degree nowadays) exists within the biking fraternity, which does not offer the same biking status to the so called “Fair weather bikers” as their all year round counterparts.

As I near my mid-fifties, I find that after parking up the bike for 3 months over the worst of winter, I get a real buzz of anticipation as March approaches ever closer. I can’t reach that same buzz I got when I picked up my first new big bike, a W plate (1980) Suzuki GS550, but it’s close. They say, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

Whatever you ride and whenever you ride, a biker is a biker to me.
