Re: The Glorious British Summer
Well was planning a quick blast after tea as was a good forecast but just got back from football and it's spitting rain.
Not sure whether to sit it out and see if it improves or just say fook it and crack a beer.

Re: The Glorious British Summer
Well went for a evening blast and had an epic time. Even a little rain couldnt spoil the evening in fact it helped make it a little more fun as there was loads of bikes out and I felt like a hero overtaking everyone in the twisties in the wet.
It was wet but mainly only on your visor as the temperature was so warm the rain evaporated as soon as it hit the ground so could sill have a good giggle

Re: The Glorious British Summer
We seem destined never to have a decent spell of summer weather again.
Forecast is shite all through next week too.

Re: The Glorious British Summer
About 15+ years ago and before i used to spend the whole summer wearing shorts at home. It was usually mid September before you really wanted to wear jeans again.
The early to mid 90s we had some brilliant summers one after the other.
