Talking First Fly of the Season!!

Went out for a ride over the South Downs today , temperature was about 11c so not too cold for a change.

Hit a fly with a nice satisfying SMACK! Woo Hoo!! Summers a comin'! Forgot what it's like to get covered in fly splatter , can't wait

Then got stuck behind a car and a Harley , he was actually riding slower than Sprock!!

I call bullchit.
Nobody rides slower than sprock...

Glad you got out, Hawkman! I can feel the seasons changing for the better here, too. It's been 40F for a couple days now and the snow is melting. Getting excited!

That's like 51F. Hell, that's great riding weather!!! I hear it's supposed to hit 50F here this weekend and I'm gonna be riding everywhere.

Last weekend it was 42F high (5.5C) and I was out in my textile jacket and jeans... LOL..
(seriously... it felt nice! Although it got a little chilly when the sun went down. )

Yeah weather was perfect yesterday , real 'Goldilocks' weather , not too hot not too cold

The roads were a bit damp in places and early in the morning there's a hard frost , so no dawn raids for me just yet.

Slower than Sprock eh ? Ya teasing SOB's

Okay then you two gay arsed Barstuds

Hey when I first set eyes on the thread title I says to myself ..........huh here we go
Hawk and Trout undoing each others flys again

The only one going slow these days is you with all the stalling out you are doing
there .........om guessing the only problem is your mind is elsewhere as in firmly
fixated on a part of Trouts anatomy ...........how's them apples ????

Jeez ladsies (not a typo), I thought this was a nice innocent thread regarding the change of the seasons but nothing really changes around here does it? Seems like it's not just the weather that's 'on the turn'. I lit our wood heater a couple of times this week, just for a couple of hours in the evening. Several days of steady rain and drizzle. Sun's out today but I have to wait 'til the driveway dries out a bit...more rain tomorrow methinks. Yes..soon Winter will be on us here. Single digit minus centigrade by night, low 20s and sunny by day. Bring it on

Ah it's never that serious Dave, these two bitches just keep giving me chit all the time
"no transgression goes unpunished" and that's why these two misfits keep coming back
for more abuse is all.

kinda like having two extremely annoying, scrawny and dumb younger cousins ya have to
keep kicking the chit out of.
