dont wish to piss off anyone but i thought i would just tell you about yesterday, up 6.30 ish 22deg did animals etc, breaky then on bike took one of hornets, its now 10 30 ish 29 deg, went out to el chorro lakes, sin alc beer beautifull, then off again towards ardales national park area, but cut off on a narrowish tarmac rd to a place called bobastro , the road was ace hairpins, twistys the lot and the scenery yea nice , the smell of the pine trees in the heat was very strong, got to the top of this road and there was a bar brill, nice cool drink, the barman told us temp was now,36 deg phew, and it was only 12 00 ish, left bar and went back down ,hell of a ride,cut across to park area, and lakes stopped and had a few tapas, then hit one of my fav roads back to cartama really wind the wick back here, the best sweeping bends ever and a good place to see any stray trafic cops, anyway into cartama, and in to antonios bar, free drink couse he is a biker mate, temp now 41, hell. got back up to ours and we had a nice breeze temp only 36, , ps how hot is it where you are !!!!
]Not 36º and that’s for sure. Actually today has seen a respite from near constant rain and Katana popped in for a cuppa on his GSX750. I have been stuck in the garden all day with my chainsaw, so no riding for me today. The rain returns tomorrow…SB you are a lucky SoB!!!
About 30 degrees here.
Err, on my hols in France though…..
Taking an XV16 out for a blast this weekend, quite looking forward to it.
I just got back from a works trip to Austria, it reached 38C on Friday.. too bloody hot to work!!!… and seeing all those idiots out there riding in T-Shirts & shorts… nasty!
Hi we get the young scooter knobs here, hims and hers, flip flops/sandles, shorts or short skirt, vest or bare, and a crash hat on the elbow it doesnt bear thinking about if they came off or got whipped off what a bloody mess.
must be nice to have so much bikeing weather sb. this must be our worst summer ever. only fun ive had after donnington was a bit of a chase from blairs armed patrol when i buzzed em at 120 so i changed leathers nd helmet nd went back out till it rained again & again & again [
]…dazHi SB.. I’ve seen all that too, I lived in Mallorca for a few years, all the kids ran around on piped scooters with no protection… the laws shocking as they’re legal if the helmet is “worn”, even on the arm or plonked on their head like a hat.
inland where i am they all know each other which doesnt help law enforcment, at the local school you see the mothers bring kids on the scooters stood infront of them, some times two, none wearing any gear and not a lot of clothes, aint right somehow
]Like Daz saisd we had a very poor summer, than God I decided to do the French trip/ Rode through 6~8″ of water today while out with Thumper, Gix and few others! Loads of roads blocked due to flooding.
Love the idea of buzzing Mr Blair on the Mille!
i feel for you lads really , i didnt know it was so bad my miissus went to u.k. sat for a week, its pi–ed down all the time she is in lincolnshire, but i saw the u.k.news last night, i think glouster area , hell man thats some water, ive nearly forgot what it like to get rained on, we might get a little bit in sept /oct maybe not.
it must be hell of a job to keep the bikes clean!!? can you ride in wet suit and flippers??[]Yep its a bad summer, never in all the years I have lived here, have I seen floods like this. The square (junction by fire station)in Polesworth often floods due to it being on the same level as the river, and all roads drop onto the junction, but the flood we came across in the pic Radar posted in the toy run thread, thats got a railway embankment between the river and the road, that looding was cos the field and the embankment just couldnt take any more water, and the flood we went through, the river had not only burst its banks, but flooded the fields, and risen high enough to flood the road bridge! I have never seen flooding to this extent round here before, and guess what? It aint over, its raining again!
