Bikers' Banter

Well, glorious day for riding, so what am i doing, gardening (knew i should have got readymix in), washing cars, drinking dirty beer and BBQing, never mind can ride tomorrow.

I also wasted a good bike riding day by being in work , but on leave from Wednesday so heading Devon , Cornwall way till Sunday . Heatwave forecasted .

You jammy gits. I’ll be in the office all week.

Might have to go to work on the bike one day, and go home via Matlock.

I also missed the chance for a ride today, but I took a lot of stuff to sell at an autojumble and made enough money to pay for my BikeTrac tracker to be fitted to the bike plus the first years subscription and a new crash helmet. I can't believe how much I sold, so worth the sacrifice in the end. I went with some friends from the old MCN forum and our local one as well so it was a fun day and we all bought each other's junk, as usual. I'll make up for it tomorrow, hopefully. I don't plan to work until after lunch, so should get some miles in before then.

I had to travel, so only 260 miles on the F800 GT this weekend. Having a 52L top box is wonderful.

Far to hot for motorcycles, had to watch the football match, then went for wander along the river (well mainly sat) hoping for a breeze to come along, it didn't...

It's never too hot!

Just put on your bikini top, shorts and flipflops, along with your helmet, and off you go!

NC, i used think that until i went out on my Harley Fat Bob (honest) in Dubai in August, it was 46c and 90% humidity, i can assure you, even in flip flops, tank top and short's it was far far far too effing hot to be on a bike.

To be fair, I don't tend to ride the Ninja much in July - best to wait until August, when it's cooled down a bit - or go our at 7am, back home by 9am.

I did the Windmills of Cervantes last year, and nearly passed out on the way home! I felt ill for two day!

Harley-Davidson big-twins are known for cooking their riders in hot weather.
