Hi all, Well, i've just spent my first evening working on the bike outside, and how freaking cold it it?? Maybe it's the carb cleaner all over the hands, nope toes are damn cold as well! If this is only october, then hell, might as well order the heated grips now lol! Fixing up my ebay zephyr so i can ride through winter instead of being a fair weather boy again, hopefully this trusty (lol not so far!!) steed will see me through the darker months, and even more hopefully meet up with some of you all! Take care, now, where's that damn patio heater......
Yep.............it's cold, right enough!!!
It was lovely this afternoon, been out in just a t-shirt and jeans, went to get the washing in this evening and it was sooooooooooooo cold!! I've put the heating on..
Yep it's bloody cold here to! been working outside on sons scooter. Just wondering shell did the gP prescribe for raynards - didn't think you could get anything for it when I last asked!
Been back inside an hour now and i'm still cold!!! Yeah, it's been lovely during the day - typical as A, i've neither bike taxed at the mo, and B, stuck in an office all day, booo!! Need to get some sun on me, so wanna just go get on a plane and head somewhere hot :-)
Sporti ... yup ... its the same stuff they give to patients with Angina ... you can have Adalat gell... thats a quick kick of the stuff, I take that when the weather suddenly turns cold and I have not had my other stuff , also I have Nifedipine which I can take up to 10mg 4 times a day to keep me going through the winter and speed up my circulation.
They dont like to give it out, as one of the side effects is that it lowers your blood pressure rapidly and speeds up your heart rate amongst other things and its easy to overdose on but I used to get chill blaines so bad when it was cold they had to do something for me or I risked it becoming worse I am supposed to take it all year round ... but dont as I dont want to get to the stage where its not working in the winter , which is a possibility if I am always on it
To be fair, I may put my thermal lining in my jacket for next week. But we'll see, I have the advantage that it's only around ten to fifteen minutes from the lock up to work and I can put up with the cold for that time.
Deffo need to buy meself some winter gloves now i'm back riding in winter. Mebbe heated grips too if i'm gonna be really soft!
Can't wait to get back on it though, been a while since i had my leg over lol!
already got my thermals out , heated grips on , hot water bottle ready to tuck in my jacket, na not really . mind if it gets as bad this winter as last i think i will give the bike a reat for the winter
Jeeezz.....You lot are a bunch of wimps! A couple of degrees drop in temperature & you all grab your thermals & scarves...... Sorry,hold on a minute,someone at the door.....
Err.....there`s a brass monkey at the door asking if anyone knows a good welder......
I was going to have heated grips on my new bike but I just couldnt bring myself to do it,I've only recently started wearing waterproofs after 30 odd years!
cold here..and frost this morning...but blue skies and sunshine!
A friend up near Whitby put on their FBstatus last night they had sleet and hail! Brrrrrrrr
Some bright spark once suggested putting Fiery Jack cream on fingers and toes before kitting up to keep the cold out. Maybe we used too much but thought me hands and feet were going to spontaneously combust they got so hot!
