I’m still waiting for the rain. Ice on the verges this morning.

I’ve taxed the Fazer, need to organise the MOT. I’m hoping the insurance will be less than the tax, but I doubt it 😶

Seriously considering a spin on Saturday. I’ll put the top box on, and go to Sainsbury’s (in Matlock) 😉

I know what you mean, we had some cloud yesterday AND a bit of fog upto 9am. Still not a drop of rain all the time we been here.

Extended our stay until 15th March, See what happens leading upto that date to determin what next.

Just about stopped raining now.... A lot warmer but I doubt the roads will dry up, looks like Sat or Sun now as rain is forecast all week.

I'd love to get out. I'll be straight off to Tesco, on a bike :) Maybe the Triumph as I can put a tail pack on it.
I prefer a rucksack and the Kawasaki for filthy, wet roads but my jacket's a bit loose and I don't seem to be able to get the rucksack on by myself. I don't have enough strength to wrestle with it any more.
It'll be good to get out.

MOT booked for next Monday. They don’t do weekends any more. 😕

4 MOT stations in town and only one does bikes.

I’ve been told this one is dodgy, so I don’t take the car there! There’s enough people looking after the bike for me not to worry about it! The car just gets driven, and I check the oil and tyres 🤷‍♀️ Quality MOT probably prudent 😶


I’m hoping for a few dry hours at the weekend 🤞

The way I'm looking at it is , the weather can't get any worse (unless I move to central US of A).
