Frustrated with the weather!
« on: December 21, 2015, 04:54:43 PM »
Just put in new points, plugs, new head cover gasket, oil and filter change etc but the weather every time I have a day off is crap! I just want to get out and ride the old 550, but I  will never SORN it as I like to ride year round if the conditions are good.

What do you mean by crap weather?   You just get our leftover rain.  People round here are busy building arks.

It is rather pants weather, rather getting me down too, my shed is too dark and damp to be any fun working in there, plus the few clear days we get I have had to waste re roofing a shed that lost its roof to the wind. Roll on summer. I still get a few rides in on the ntv that is a bit more low maintenence.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

 for here,

  max 10c
mainly sunny
 10% chance of rain
10mph SW


so if the puddles dry up a little,it could be a go !!

 well,the morning started ok,clear and sunny,breezy as well,but very wet roads,hoped the wind  a weak sun would dry the roads,
but still wet at lunch time,then a few heavy showers,and as wet as before !!!!

hopes for the future
