Mr Bowler Hat · 02-05-2009, 12:40 AM

1reddawg12r · 02-05-2009, 01:27 AM

tenbears · 02-06-2009, 09:54 AM

Feels OK unless the wind chill nudges -20. Then it's thermals under the leathers time. Dipped out 2 days this week as I just couldn't get out the drive.... heaviest snow fall in these parts for over 30 years.

Just got in and washed the 1100 down. Thank gawd that week's over....

tenbears · 02-06-2009, 10:13 AM

TBH MrB, I don't think gritting would help much.... and coz of the rarity of the event we just aint equipped with enough ploughs.

Bloodie mare, though.... in the thaw, this place is looking like Stalingrad on a good day.

Mr Bowler Hat · 02-06-2009, 11:47 AM

fair point ..............however we live (lived!) in a country in the top six largest economies in the world and shut down the capital city due to 4" of snow............this country has no ability whatsoever to cope with any weather emergency. Its like a 3rd world country....rant over

Barbarian-CBX · 02-09-2009, 02:14 AM

46F (7.8C then.)

shiggsy · 02-09-2009, 04:46 AM

3 (37.4) and raining. High winds and rain forecast this afternoon so took the car.
Had 3 days in bed last week with a stomach bug, haven't ridden the bike for 10 days now.

Mr Bowler Hat · 02-09-2009, 07:01 AM

-1C and sheet ice everywhere

Arse over tit was on the prescription today

Snow forecast in next hour or so...........even I'm gettin pissed off with this weather now

shiggsy · 02-10-2009, 03:39 AM

3.5 (38.3). High winds and rain ment a car day.

Barbarian-CBX · 02-10-2009, 05:39 AM

55f (12.8c)

mattbholland · 02-10-2009, 04:13 PM

55-60 F here, took the bike out....sans fairing, front fender, and slip on...Roads are dry but still a lot of salt dust from snows a few weeks back. Unleashed the fury but only up to 70 mph or so as I don't want to find out what the 12 handles like without a fairing or front fender at high speeds, plus that salt dust. It's loud for sure, the new exhaust should be coming soon. After 10 minutes, took her back in the garage and washed off the salt. Next time she's out it will be all put back together again....

shiggsy · 02-11-2009, 12:25 AM

2 (35.6) and dry. Some ice about in places but I used the bike.l

Barbarian-CBX · 02-11-2009, 01:59 AM

shiggsy · 02-12-2009, 11:44 PM

Barbarian-CBX · 02-13-2009, 03:57 AM

I'm so ashamed. Didn't go. No repsonse from phone calls, nor emails. And based on previous experience regarding a snorkle that Vozzie sent, I figured it'd be a waste of time. Thoughts/comments? Don't know what to do.

Just stopping by never hurts.

ZuminaZX · 02-14-2009, 06:22 PM

assuming he has a place of business.

Barbarian-CBX · 02-15-2009, 09:28 AM

Hans does a bunch of stuff for NASCAR. I bet he is still in business, but, I bet he's lost interest in doing anything for M/Cs. I'll go by there this week. You're right, it won't hurt. If he is interested in making some CF tank covers, he'll need a tank to make a mould. I don't want to loan him mine (for obvious reasons). We might want to see if any are available.

shiggsy · 02-16-2009, 12:02 AM

6 (42.8) Damp and greasy roads.

Barbarian-CBX · 02-16-2009, 01:42 AM

39F. (3.9C.) Roads were wet, but, not greasy.

Mr Bowler Hat · 02-16-2009, 09:54 AM

shiggsy · 02-17-2009, 12:01 AM
