I think you are crazy...... :jawdrop:

Oh well, I'll have to put up with the cold here tomorrow. It's going to be 33'C! It was 40'C during the week - that was lovely.

Karen,

You know what, you are probably right about the "crazy"
Oh, for a warm dry day !

They gritted our road. I have lived here for 10years and that is the first time.

Council have said they will only grit major roads next year, in a cost cutting exercise, its bad enough this time round with only bus routes being gritted.

Lots of cold, lots of flurries, little snow here. The first day we get up in the forties I will make a quick run on the Fazer.

It was -10 this morning when i went to work and its gonna stay around the -4 mark till saturday..then the snow hits again..the roads are already like glass,another dump of snow will bring the untreated estates here in Cardiff to a standstill

Yeah, we've had our fair share of snow up here in the North East, been snowing on and off now for days - make that weeks. I did venture out on the FZ on new years eve, and just got back in time for it to start snowing 10 minutes later. Took the car to work on Tuesday and there was around 8 inches of snow around by the time I left work (100 mile trek btw). Motorways were all nice and clear though, so wasn't too bad. Certainly wouldn't think about taking the FZ out.

Sadly I can always work from home, so the last 2 days, and probably the next week or so, I've had to settle down and sit in the warmth listening to CD's and working. Makes my garden look well cared for though :Flash:

It's been fun looking at all the pics of the snow back home in Blighty. We've had a lot here in France too. Anymore and I may have to invest in one of these!!!!!

I'm still missing my riding.. when I saw the snow first fall before Christmas, I thought 'ah.. pretty'. The novelty has now seriously worn off and I just want nice dry roads again so I can get back on my bike! I need to get my bike in for it's MOT and Tax as they're nearly expired but haven't had a break in the weather when I've been free to take it. Anyone know if it's ok to ride it to the garage thats doing the MOT even if it expires? I presume there is a grace period of 2 weeks or something to get the bike sorted.
Keep warm all.

Yeah, from memory you can ride it to an MOT station without an MOT provided that you have booked it in for an MOT.

Here's a pic of my Fz6-N in the snow.....

Planned to get my bike out today as things started to look better. But looking out of the window this morning there is no chance of that as they have for-cast up to three inches of snow again.

 

[Cloggy]

I really hope the weather doesn't get any worse in the UK as I'm flying across for a long weekend with the family tomorrow, I really hope there are no serious delays at Leeds/ Bradford airport.

 

[Jez]

You should be alright tomorrow:

Looks like the weekend will be a bit better as well. I got the cover off the bike today, checked the tyres ready to go out, then it started bloody snowing again.

 

[Gilo-FZ6]

well it apears the weather is improving just a little bit..glorious sunshine all day saturday (still a brisk 8 degrees) but i was incapacitated with 6 nations-itis ..im hoping this mist clears today so i can get the first miles of 2010 later today

At last the snows gone, ( touch wood ) the suns out. Bring it on.:thumbup:

I did 70 miles today and my legs almost froze! Not to mention my fingers were icicles and feet... icebergs. Was awesome to be back out on the bike though! Now I just need to get it to perform a little better. Enjoy your riding!!
