..... but I am on the inside looking outside as my knackered old body can no longer tolerate low temperatures.

I can still tolerate cold weather ....

But I don't like to!

I don't take health advice from people who think the world is overpopulated.

Must have been many years ago when me & 'Er on t'Pillon went out on a misty New Year -9c morning.
Why?
To join a few other like mind nutters for a ride of course

Very wise, Bryan... I went for a very hilly 15k run this morning - over my favourite hilly, muddy and wet route with a 50yard 5' high tunnel shared with a stream.

It was great... until I trod on a bramble with my left foot and carried on with my right. A dozen lovely deep shin cuts. Oh well. Not the first time. Next, I clipped a tree root with my left toe and landed face first in the mud. More cuts, to knees this time, and a very muddy body. The icing on the cake was that as I landed one of those velcro plants attached half of itself to my shirt so I ran home dripping blood, covered in mud, wet, knackered and looking like I was a sniper in a ghilly suit carrying half the countryside on my back.

Makes motorcycling look positively safe!!

Been an interesting few days weather wise. Had a close on 1" layer of snow, front wheel twitch on the icy back lane, followed by the 125 being blown over. Torrential rain for 2 days.
Then the lane being shut twice, once for flooding, then for a fallen tree.
Today managed to get some stuff done, 125 MoT'd. Took the covers off the 'bird & Ninja, reset their clocks (there are always some you forget to do!).
Fired them both up till the fans kicked in. The solar trickle chargers do the job at keeping the batteries topped up.

I still ride in the winter but things are much better now with great riding gear heated grip and I have just ordered a heated waist coat. I'm becoming a whimp but hey ho at least I can get out and ride still.

The oldest rocker in town!
