Bikers' Banter

Well, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I won’t be able to do the NC500 this year.

I had dates planned for early July, but that looks highly unlikely.

So, day trips only. Might be able to get in the odd b&b by September.

First year I had the Fazer, I did some 8,000 miles.

It’s all bullocks.

It's Horrible isn't it..... Never had such a bad year for bike Miles.... just put both bikes back in the Garage as it's now snowing.... The Z900 has 566 miles and the Grom, 16.....! Waiting for my VAC and a window of good weather , then I'll be out and about with a vengeance.......... I reckon Nathan-Weston-Edwards has done more riding this year than most of us !!!!

I’ve had a nice chat with Rachel today.

I’ve promised to pick her up later in the year and take her out.

(But I promised that last year...)
(Nearly a year since Chris died)

such a Bad year it's been, for so many....... can't believe it was a year ago. He was such a laugh, especially in the MCN years that I saw him on.

I liked Chris, had my sense of humour.

Ed met him late in life, but thought the world of him. They had soooo much in common!

Had a chat with Roger today. He’s hoping to do the ‘Conrad’s Ride’. I think it’s mid July, from Worcester (but don’t quote me on that)

We might all be able to do Welsh Wales in August...

I haven't been to Wales for ages. I have Rukka trousers now, so maybe I shall head that way sometime. I've never seen Wales with the sun out. It snowed on me the year I did the Dragon rally.

I'm going to have to learn about the new sat-nav once I can do longer rides again.

Mrs. Bee , what is this sun thing you talk about .
Here in Welsh Wales we have 9 months of winter followed by 3 months of bad weather .

You're lucky, Scotland gets 13 months of Winter and 7 months of worse weather...

38 day's we have been here and not seen any snow whatsoever. I've nearly gone through a tube of factor 50 sun block.
