    Had enough of winter?

    Is it just me or has this winter been worse that ever?

    I have had enough of getting to the end of the week to watch the weather report to hear Toni tell me to leave the bike in the shed for another weekend!

    Im sick of this shit !!!!!!

    Iv had my tantrum ... sorry... thanks for listening

    Winter is A.OK up here in Auckland, been riding almost everyday, getting absolutely soaking wet in the process, due to being lazy and not putting on my 1piece rain suit. But that's all part of the fun

    It's been pretty mild this year.

    I like Winter. I'd prefer it a bit colder.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    This is my first Winter on a Bike, and I haven't had any problems at all, a little wetter than usual, but I just keep on trucking through it.

    Maybe a concrete pill is required?

    Meh, got to work the weekend anyway so don't give a fat rats arse.


    But yeah, the winter can bugger off any time it wants.

    (Still, should we get a summer it makes us appreciate it all the more)

    4am??? Mate even I would have to question the sanity in that lol. I take full advantage of the nice days during the week when the poor 9 - 5rs are all stuck in their offices staring out the window

    I've spotted your problem. Switch to TV1 weather. Karen has bigger tits - makes all the difference to the weather.

    Winter was dirt riding time in my days living in Chch. Rain and mud didn't matter...but yeah, it sure was cold down there.

    Wgtn is a better all year climate for riding. Milder winters and the last couple of summers have been good. In fact too hot n'dry.

    Thumbs up

    I'm getting a bit tired of loosing the back end of the cage in the wet. No traction control makes for fun times in the wet so it will be good to see some dry roads & some traction.

    No problem loosing traction on the GN . Getting a heap of wet weather riding in although riding in hail aint much fun.

    Still can't get enough of riding a motorcycle, even on the crusty old GN.
