    Take care out there tonight. Tree felling winds are on their way, snow in the
    morning too.

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, tallbloke
    Serves you filly fuckers right for living up there.

    It's a little breezy in God's Own South, but nothing worth getting too
    excited about.

    Woo-hoo!

    I'll go out in the 4WD in the morning, and wait at the bottom of the
    estate with a tow rope. I think a fiver per tow up the hill is
    reasonable, don't you?

    Pah. You Southern poofters wouldn`t know a good storm if it slapped you
    around your well-fed, affluent faces. [1] ;oP

    Still, theres a cold front on it`s way though around midnight or so, which
    may well give more Southerly parts a bit of a lashing as it passes through.

    Nah, you'd need a real 4x4 to earn that sort of cash.

    I'd go for 1.80 a tow, if I were you.

    It certainly was a bit blowy darn sarf, nearly got me off balance at a set
    of lights, alright if you can keep moving though.

    Take care out there tonight. Tree felling winds are on their way, snow in
    I've thought the BBC weather forecasts for the London area have been shite
    all week, but I guess this will be hard to get wrong given they are
    predicting something that's already arrived.

    We could set fire to his car and roll it down the hill to melt the snow.

    You couldn't set fire to that, could you?

    AndrewR emerged from their own little world to say
    Why bother. Magnetti Marelli have that covered.

    It's parked a bit close to the house isn't it?

    My VFR750FR has a distinct dislike of crosswinds,
    over the years I found two things help;

    - keeping a loose grip on the 'bars.
    - keeping the tank full.

    YMMV

  16. And keep the fairing on.

    By God, did my bike blow about last night London bound on the M2.

    Who? What? Why?
    Nope, it's actually parked a bit close to next door's house.

    For reasons of extreme crapness by Bellway homes I can't get it onto my
    drive without serious scrapping from the exhaust and as next door are away
    for months at a time and don't have a car anyway ...
