Still nice and warm,
but a good day to be catching up on job's in the shed.

But remember Tony, you can still ride in the rain here and not get cold...
...or stay in the shed with your "Hit's of the '80's CD" and remove the
B12 centre stand and polish up the Yoshi and all the alloy...........;)
Not fussed. Got all next week off....[8D]
Heavy snow warnings have been issued for middle of next week across the north east and east of England...
Video of snow !
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8436969.stm
I love the overhead road signs saying " SNOW" no shit ?? [:p]:D
Its like when your going up the motorways here in thick fog and
you can barely make out the overhead gantry signs saying "FOG ! SLOW THE FUCK DOWN ! "
How many of you remember clearing the snow off your bike ? up to 4" of it at 6 o clock at night after work... in the dark. Clearing the ice from around the control switches, headlamp and clocks ?
So you could enjoy the ride 1 1/2 hour ride home in deep snow, sub zero temperatures and the dark.
Keeping your wheels in the ruts the car tyres had made in the snow and leaving your feet as close to the ground as possible incase the bike slid as they did quiet often.
When you had to ride with your visor up all the way with the amount of condensation from your breath ? After 20 minutes of this your face muscles froze.
Clearing the falling snow from around the air vents in your petrol cap every few seconds cos causes a vacuum inside the tank and cuts off the gas to the carbs?
and then at the end of your daily journey to work and same going home.....
Trying to find your ciggies and lighter in your jacket pockets when you have no feelings at all in your hands?
Its difficult when you can`t actually feel anything in your pockets cos you do`nt actually know which pocket they`re in ? Can take a very long time finding your smokes !!!
Burning your leather gloves trying to warm your hands on the cylinder head/barrels.
When you get off the bike and your body is locked in the same position when your standing ? Trying to walk while in a biker crouch is hilarious for all your work colleagues to watch.
Trying to put your heavy 1970s bike on its centre stand while your stood on sheet ice and can`t even stand up yourself?
When you arrive at your destination and a 1/2" thick sheet of ice falls off your front like an upper body cast?
When you get into the warm workplace and realise as your shivering, that you badly need a piss, struggling to get your leathers off with numb fingers, getting more and more desperate for a piss, then when you`ve got all your gear off, your so fuckin cold you cant` find your pecker !!! Its hibernated with the cold !!:D
When you stop and get of your bike and your fingers feel like they been hit hard with a hammer ! Gone through the numb phase, just into the pain phase.
A long time ago before bikers became big Jessies !
And will the kids today believe us ? :D;)[:o)]
[:o)]
I remember all that, and add trying to work on your bike out in the open because you have no garage, work for 5 mins until your fingers freeze, back in the house for 15 mins to thaw out, back out again in the sleet, takes about 5 hours to change a set of brake pads.Quote:

You could always get a beemer HOS.. and heated grips... and no comment about it being cold lol
Not snowing down here but it is chuffing cold!
Your towel-head's dont mind,
they're going for a march to keep warm.....

HOS, i think its time to either get a car with a bloody heater, or move :D
Don't you know nuthin Tony...
They wear sheets on their heads, so their proper name is 'sheet-heads';)
Yep, I remember that stuff, While we here in Oz might be bragging about how good our weather is at the moment, it can still get cold here, albeit not quite the UK/Euro level, I used to live at Lithgow, just slightly west of Blue Mountains, I used to ride to work to the Power Station at Wallerawang, about 10mins away, in winter it used to snow at times and used to get down to -6, I would still ride to work (on my first 1100 Kat), it was fun having ice all around your mouth in your beard and down the front of your leather jacket, sometimes I used to pick a mate up, he got worried one morning when I handed him my iced up visor (I used a half face helmet back then) then handed him my iced up glasses... that was a cold ride that morning... then there was the morning when I woke up and there was 4" of snow all over the place (remember, this is west of Sydney), I got the bike out and trundled down the road very slowly as there was too much ice on the road, since I was in a nice easy Government job, I decided to go home and have a day off, yeah, I know, soft.... there was another time I was playing Rugby at Oberon, we played with snow blowing across the field, did not have a half time (even though one of us brought a bottle of scotch for half time), when we finished the game (still snowing...) there were no hot showers, so cold showers it was... as usual after a Rugby game here in Oz, we had a few beers at the oppositions Pub and then I rode home with the snow still falling. Another cold one that comes to mind is the time I rode from the Power Station after work to a mates place in Melbourne... in winter.... I rode most of the night in temperatures that were hovering around 0 degrees, it was probably around 900kilometers that I rode, you do the wind chill factor and for around 10 hours too...Quote:

So yeah, it gets "cold" here, but up in Queensland, even in winter, not cold at all...
Cheers
Its becasue of the cold winters we don`t get the snakes, spiders, ants and shit that you guys have to live with.
We are watching the TV program "Worlds Deadliest Animals" here in England, all about the lethal wildlife in Aus ! Incredible what you accept as part of your normal lives. [xx(]
All that will do is harm their own families and other Muslism here, thats all. A lot of Muslim businesses have seen their trade collapse and many Muslim businesses have gone bust because of the cretinous actions of the few.Quote:

British people will not shop or buy from Muslims when their own people do this shit. Fair play. ;)
They arent exactly a smart race are they?
But thats another debate.
Long time ago when we rode our bikes all year round. We had no car license, cars were for the soft. :DQuote:

East of England has had 40cm of snow in places.... whats that in English ?
Sixteen inches!
Snow is fun. What isn't fun is the useless fuckwits that think because the nice man on the telly said that cold weather is dangerous, they have to drive everywhere at twenty-fecking-five miles an hour. Useless twats.
Not having a good day today.
Please do`nt say your commuting on the bike ????!!!!!!Quote:

From late yesterday a frozen lake covered in snow....
Excuse the blurred pictures ;) My good lady took the photos on her camera phone and she was shivering while taking the shots :(
So far today we have another 3" of snow and more forecast.
Even the goose looks fupped off ! :D

yep snow stopped work today. I live on a hill so most of the roads here are also on a hill, makes for some interesting car antics, Guess which type of car was the most common to be stuck and just spinning thier wheels in a fury of revs, you guessed it urban four wheel drives.
I'm ok, they think in a 4x4 init engaged 4x4 pedal to the metal and hey presto all four wheels spin and off they go sideways,backwards and all the while bouncing off other parked and abandoned cars until they abandone thiers, learn to drive the 4x4's knobs.
Snow is good fun been sledging today down a 200 foot hill and didnt break any bones, I was suprised thought I would have broke something, and the plus side of the snow keeps the beer at the right temp :D
Aint been sledging for years !!!! [:p]:):)Quote:

A lotta fun ! I guess you took the kids ? ;)
Last week me and my mrs went out the front door and stood applauding loudly a white van monkey sat outside our house in the snow covered road spinning his front wheels at max revs for minutes.... until he saw us... [^] Fuckwits abound.
Thats a regular in our street in the snow.
Theres no answer for stupid ?
Sledging in Jamacia? Cool Runnings.. soz [:o)]

Offers still open if your passing for a brew ;)
Tis a big red one HOS and it's easier to drive a van with better traction and rear wheel drive than the crappy gutless vectra I drive, which is unfortunately, why I have to do 25mph cos the wheels dont grip the road. Still had loads of fun spinning it out. Hit a concrete post yesterday, was only doing 10mph, damned shame cos I need a new car lol Wish the handbrake worked better, I'd be doing handbrake turns all day others - don't you just love abandoned carparks? lol
From space... looks fuggin cold man..
