Came home from uni this evening, 150 mile journey, just in leathers...

It was 2 degrees even before windchill factor!

thought my limbs were going to fall off!

Ah safe at last at home, now gonna tackle that gsxr's carbs...

Damn, 150 miles!

I get up at 5 am for work, leave at 6 and most mornings theres frost everywhere! Only for a 15 minute ride tho.

Wake up at 5.30...leave the house for by 6.30.....sweating by the time I get in the car

Listen guys - you need to get up here (the frozen wastelands of the North) to even begin to understand cold- I am sitting in the house with the heating full on and a couple of effing wooly gloves trying to restore circultation to fingers after another ball freezing stint in the garage,

Am off to install a heater - to hell with global warming -I cant stand the cold. In fact I would easily swap with the guy in Spain with the blown H bike. I get to live in the Spanish warmth and have to fix his bike and he freezes to death in Aberdeen with a fully functioning zxr - sounds like a great deal - where do I sign!!!

On Saturday for a long ride back in a freezing torential downpour, I decided to put some duct tape over the vents in my Summer gloves.

Bloody marvelous!
