    Is it still the same

    Its been a while since i was last in Blighty and its 39° in tha shade here today and i was thinking of wearing my leathers to ride up France!!!! PHEEEEW and for the UK weather or should i just bring water proofs or has climate change got a hold yet The bikes the only mode of transport (not that i,m complaining) for 3/4 weeks and i,ll be bringing tools as well as another pair of socks so i don,t realy want to bring my big winter jacket!!! but want to get loads of miles in, in the UK

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    No worries mate. Thinking about the "international" event next year.

    Been in touch with Wobblemonster and have his number.

    Oh, and I'm packing my waterproofs just in case - for the trip to the ferry and home again. Crosses fingers and hopes the Fates aren't listening.........

    To find out how much has changed visit HERE. There is no change to the weather.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
