    Nasty looking front coming in tonight.

    Hey, talking about weather, take a look at the cold front coming up from the South tonight!
    We might get a beating first but it looks like it might get all of you at some time or other.
    There is quite a good covering of snow on the tops here now and they predict more snow to 300meters (That's us) tonight.
    Looks like it should be a fairly promising Brass Monkey this year.
    T.I.E. Did you buy some good possum/merino thermals? It looks like you are going to need them! John.

    Not impressed with this weather.

    No rugby today.

    No BMX tomorrow.

    Sad children all round.

    But my dririder pants still don't leak (third winter now) and the Gaerne boots don't leak either. Two pairs of gloves mean one's always dry and the jackets pretty good too.

    Still, with the size of the fairing on the RF, you could ride naked and still be dry if you tucked in begind the fairing.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    NOW I REMEMBER why I buy bikes with full fairings. How on earth can rain make its way down into my bum crack--And how is it so darn cold??
    Even my hair is wet
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Ixion, it was made in Italy. The instructions clearly say "DO NOT ADD WATER"

    at least you have your new bike ...
    Motorbike only search
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Lose your appetite when you're aroused?
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.
