You gotta love The Express headlines, they only have about six, "Cures for Dementia,Diabetes,Alzheimer's,extreme weather/Wind/Snow/Sun, or remainers trying to reverse Brexit, like one for everyday of the week ad nauseum.......... ???    Oh on every fouth Friday its a catfight in the Royal family as Megan tries to upstage Kate

Nothing would surprise me with the weather we've had this year.

Where I am (Ireland), it has rained almost every day this year at some point, and we've had all four seasons in one day at times as well.

Just went out for a bike ride. Flipping COLD. Good thing is im doing my full licence end of May, so bike prices are stagnating right now, should be able to pick up a decent bike for not too much £.

None for a long time lol, approx 20 years ago I went with a friend to try out a sprint st  we both tried out several bikes and he bought the speed triple I loved riding that far better than the st, my brother around 10 years ago bought the Daytona 600 which was nicer to ride than all the other sport bikes I have ridden I would definitely go for either of them before ST personally the are just better looking and not as boring, but I’m aware what I prefer not going to be the same as someone else.

I’m not really into sport bike they tend to give me backache I’m more into supermotard me personally like the more upright position especially around town etc.

Now days I would probably go for Honda VfR or similar if I got another bike  if you intended to do a bit of mileage rode one of the again approx 10 years back and if felt really comfortable.

I could do with some more snow. I earned loads in the snow doing fsg cleans.
That 2 days of hot weather we had...I was baking  ;D

As for motorbikes, I've had loads over 25 years. Where I'm based, the kind of riding I like to do and the condition of the roads, I'd buy another old BMW R1100GS. Bit like me; very old, but very, very good.

Enjoyed finishing work by wednesday of last week.  After working hard for last two months to get my work back in its usual routine (due to some family health issues) im able to take this week off as well.  My customers saw me back round cleaning just after 3 weeks instead of the usual 4, so a week off now will prolong it a little. Since im filling this week with some pressure washing jobs n soft washing smaller jobs it can rain all it wants for me.
Sorry, know thats a little selfish,

I have a Suzuki Gsx 600 F, good fun and very fast, pulls wheelies even in 6th gear, easy as pie, with 0-60 in 3.5 secs, wicked fun
