The thing about extreme weather is that, secretly, we love it!

I think it makes life an adventure. The office was full of tales of fallen trees, cancelled trains and closed bridges.

Next we get the snow and everyone gets to do it all again.

Of course I then have the decision of which days to bring the bike and which the 4x4.

Yes Barrie, one of my bird feeders was blown over, undamaged though so just stood it up again and topped the food up.

I agree, although seem to have got off lightly. The garden bench was knocked over by the wind, that's about it!

You can buy 2-wheel drive motorcycles. I'm sure HG will have one in his shed.

Well this is truly astonishing pals. Costco are selling serious art... Joan Miro drawing £39,999.99, Andy Warhol screen print £4,999.89, Roy Lichtenstein screenprint and £749.89 and a Max Jacob gouache, charcoal and water colour £4799.89. Torn between saving 11p or 1p really.

It's a Mobylette SP50, yes there are 2x2 bikes and no I don't have one...

...I can fall of a normal bike without any help from a front wheel drive so why bother?

Which brings this confession..

...normally I stop the works bike in the garage by putting the stand down, tonight I didn't

...felt a little silly picking it up, having managed to fall off in a garage while stood still...

.......think I need a beer!
Cheers, HG

K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

I don't ride motorcycles as I some how manage to get the wrong bits of me on the road

If there is something I am truly useless at motorcycling has to be it - I have taken the spanners to one or two to help others though

I have not long been in from the football club's (the one my son plays for) quiz night/ money raiser - time for my second beer
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Most embarrassing fall over was reaching back with my foot to pull down the Harley's Jiffy Stand and the damn thing went through the loop of my laces and down we both went. A lot of bike to try and wriggle out from underneath
