Never mind the US constitution, the present perfect, soggy Harleys, or Eric Carmen, this song's much more on topic.

YouTube - Helen Shapiro - It might as well Rain until September

Enjoy.

P.S. Anybody heard of, sorry, has anybody ever heard of Akito jackets? Do they stay waterproof?

So, Adv950, do you have a trip report on riding in the rain/sleet/snow? (with pics maybe?)

Now there is an accessory .. A GPS with weather avoidance radar .. like they have on planes .. mix it with the traffic avoidance stuff .. you'll be in the Shara in no time!

Personally I find rain on a long trip nice. The locals stay indoors and I get less traffic.

Now fresh fallen snow is another matter .. I find the front wheel rolls over it ok, but then the rear wheel rolls over near ice .. and tends to want to slip side ways ...

As for black ice .. best left alone.


Bernard - you need to go on one of them 'off road train courses'. After riding in mud and creeks you'll think rain is easy. Nothing like relativity to put things in their place.

You may be right! YouTube - Billy Joel-You May Be Right

Lee, you Can also change your IP address on your Wireless Router ( Bet Grant didn't know that?) the Conceptronic C54 APRA2+ wireless Router also acts as its own "SERVER" thereby having an individual IP address....... which you can change at will........ :thumbup1:

I wil PM you on the other matter!

It's called "discussion and debate". It's what people do - exchange ideas. It's what people do when they have an interest in a subject and then they present their point of view to each other. Like riding in the rain - we have views and experiences on this and we share them. Sometimes called dialogue. I hope that's what you do.

As for the gang of pals who only want to provoke - bye bye, count me out. I just ignore most of your rudeness, as I find it character building to brush you off like flies.

Martynbiker 22 Jan 2008 15:22

like the sound of your own voice Cammy?
 
Quoting yourself now Cammy, thought you were the type of geezer that likes the sound of his own voice.... that just proves it!

And you DONT ignore our comments Cammy, you come back for more. admit it Man, You LOVE IT!!! :thumbup1:

Now go away. Thanks.


At 140KG I'm Hardly a Lightweight, thats 22 stone to you, Dave Ede is 18 stone so no lightweight either!
And I'm not a Troll, I can count past Four, ( You HAVE read some of Terry Pratchett haven't you?)
"Pissed "is only an Americanism if used by an American. It is actually a PRINTERS term to mean the type is not straight. See, I even educate you Cammy and you want me to go away......

we live in a "Global Village" now thanks to the Interwebnet! so I can use whatever euphenism I like Dude!

And if you want to make me go away...why not try asking Nicely?

Oh and on a last note......"I" don't have a "Gang".

Caminando,

Don't go, we love you really! You're welcome to engage in debate here anytime cos we all love arguing the toss. Martyn is a funny guy who likes to have a laugh with people. We may have over-reacted and mis-understood your motives and what you were trying to say but it's no BIG deal honest.

Surely we are all old enough (and ugly enough) to put this small disagreement behind us and wipe the slate clean (until our next falling out)!

No hard feelings and I think I can say that on everybody's behalf...

There, no need for any BANS or further admonishments! We are self-policing...

Neil
One of the Old FAT Bast**d Gang (except I'm an associate member at only 12.5 stones).

Behave
 
Gents,
Please behave yourselves. I appreciate that in this damp weather you're probably bored and think that you have nothing else to do than partake in virtual handbags.

If you want to wind each other up, please swap email/phone numbers and do it privately. I'm sure that the vast majority of HUBB visitors would prefer not have to read your nonsense in order to get to stuff that interests them.
Kind regards,
Chris
