Looks like it's time to put the bikes away with all
on the snow on the forum ;D ;D
-
Better on the screen than under my wheels...
:)

I dunno, a ride in virgin snow on a Honda 90 is great fun, very unlikely to happen down here in Devon though!
-
Whenever there is extreme weather, at least as far is the south is concerned, it's always Kent that seems to get it.

Hi All,
Got my first bike (Ariel Arrow) in January 1963, pretty sharp learning curve!----Ken
-
Yeh been there seen it and done it, We get it 'cos Kent is stuck out in the Sea
Remember trying to ride home from work in the late 70S on a 550 k3 in about 4"and stopping at
a Vicarage to ask if i could leave my bike there and pick it up later, someone took pity
on me walking with my bike stuff and gave me a lift,probably wouldn't happen now a days,
safe riding in snow or not ;)
-
Yes, stuck out in the sea in Kent, especially if you live where I do at Dungeness !!. I get a more accurate weather forecast if I watch the French forecasts than the local UK one ;D ;D ;D
-
All you part time bikers. Been out today, just watch out for the manhole covers ;D

Steve, every time i look at the screen i feel cold.

All you part time bikers.
I don't own a car Trig, so am out in all weathers. It was bloody cold out this morning!
-
Your not the only one that doesn't own a car Steve. And a truck reversed in to my van last week. Great fun picking up forks on a bike ;D
-
Trig
Manhole covers were all ways dodgy in the wet snow or ice in the days of jokahama tyres

With 15 years only having a bike licence and being 20 miles from work, well off a bus route, I've seen a few winters on two or 3 wheels, looks like this will be my first with 4 - for a fair bit of the time. Sadly cash and other things mean the sidecar wouldn't be on the road this side of Christmas/ new year, 3 bikes already taxed and a car. Also a new hobby in the warmer shed which has electricity. Getting soft in my old age.

The trees will be quaking in their roots abouts your house Matthew... go easy on 'em!.......

Nice bit of turning Mathew,
we have a wadkin wood lathe at work that has a 5 foot face plate on the end spindle if you fancy doing a
giant bowl, that would be an eye turner for you ;)

Cheers guys, just beginning, that Wadkin sounds good. I have an Oliver pattern mkers lathe, removeable gap bed, bought to re line drum brakes on my 500/4 without having to dismount the tyre or un lace the spokes, I only realisedit did wood when it arrived. Being a 1914 machine and 3phase, it did need some work to get running and still needs more to do bike drum brakes but it seemed rude not to have a go at doing something with a massive cherry tree that dropped in the wind a few years back. If I get a free standing tool rest that my lath should have it has an outboad face plate to turn a radius of abot 4 foot! somehow I doubt I'll ever find a bit of wood big enough to need to abandon the inboard faceplate though, that will take 14 inch radius. Ebay yas a lot to answer for, the lathe was £90 delivered.
-
£90 bargain, the wadkin is very similar, I have been a patternmaker for 44 years and still love my job, sad i know.
Should retire and work on the bikes but i think me and "er in doors "would probably have a big fall out if i
was at home full time ;D ;D
