All i want to do is clean my bike

I have never asked for much out of life.
Enough money to keep a roof over my head and pay my bills
See my kids happy
Ride my bike
Play and walk with my dogs
Listen to my music as loud and as often as i want
Drink as much beer as i want to with having a hangover
See my friends

But God all i want to do now is clean my bike and it is always f***n raining.

HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO LAST?

Even my 2 dogs are showing signs of mild depression

I want to fix a hole in the roof to stop the rain coming in. But I don't want to go up a ladder in the wet. So the rain comes in. I want to fix a hole in the roof to stop the rain coming in. But I don't want to go up a ladder in the wet. So the rain comes in. (repeat again and again and again....)

I want to clean my bike, but this rain it wont stop falling, i'm worried about my machine, her state is simply appalling. Theres muck all up the engine, Chain crud covers the back wheel, But she'll stay like that for now, Coz this weathers just unreal. A dry day is what I need, To bring back her true shine, Soon this rain will stop, Then its full on polish time.

LC last night was a lovely evening I was kicking myself for not getting out to actually ride rather than just clean my bike, my friend was bringing back my bike trailer so I had to stay in, mind you I shouldn't complain he bought his garden shedder with him so managed to save me a trip to the tip with the shrubs I took out my garden they are all now nicely shredded and in my green garden bin.

Well the sun is shining not even any wind,first thoughts was get out the fuchs off , spray all over my bike while thats doing its job i go inside a clean my leathers and boots. Then its out with the hose pipe and a good blast to get rid of the cleaner and after another twenty minutes leathering it down i was ready for going out. Ten minutes into my journey it started to rain making me wonder why i had spent all that bl**dy time on my bike..... and i`m certainly no fine weather rider if i was i would never be out riding, if i look at my bike it rains..!!!!!

Certainly got your drift, got up this morning with the intension of finishing off what i started yesterday it feels damp in the air but roads are dry but very windy ( and no before anyone has the chance to say " I " havent been on the mussy peas ) .Out i go armed with leather, polish and cloths. i remove the cover, within five minutes the suns shining and at the same time pi**ing it down.I give up you just cannot win , bike is soaked uncoverd waiting for the rain to carm and i have to go out on it soon
