I do that most days
I don't tend to post what I'm doing a lot of the time for that reason.
Your welcome to come over and do so.

Last night was bad but this morning was nice! We had a hard downpour just as I got out of my car at work...
20 degrees when I got in my car, 16.5 when I got out (30 mins difference)

It's very cloudy here. I think we're de the rain at lunchtime. I've brought my waterproof gloves with me just in case it's wet on the way home.

Found my way back here again and having a good browse.
At work today and had a long dinner so spent a good hour in a local gym. Banishing the bus drivers belly.
As for bikes, my current ride is staying for years because its like my old STR but more comfortable and faster... MT-10 in black, i think ive finally found "my" bike.

Those MT10s are popular and look like a load of smiles.
I've just bought an STR

Yeah they're getting common lol but for very good reason.
All mine has taken to get me to trust it is a suspension set-up and a set of decent front pads (EBC EPFA) and naturally a decat exhaust from Delkevic.
That cruise control is really nice to have.

It's going to be a year next month, 4500 miles of smiles so far and not a single problem except its appetite for fuel and rear tyres.

Hmmm....I guess I think either way is fine....problems only start when you have to transpose between the two.

Or a Quart, why do the Americans use it when it's 1/4 of a UK gallon not US?

Lolz!!
Well it doesn't really matter either way, does it??
It's not like anyone stands at a GAS pump thinking "Oh fcuk...It's filling the tank with frickin' gallons and not litres!! Quick...someone call 911!!"
Well...I don't do that.
At least not often.
