Severe weather warning for Northern UK

She'll be even more unhappy if the insurance company declare it an act
of god and refuse to pay out.

It was quite good fun this evening, very quick indeed on the downwind
stretches.

 

Lol, you gotta give it to an old hand.

I'm going to try to get some sleep.

I do that far too often as it is. I have got to cut down really, it
costing me a fortune in new glasses.

Night Rog.

I went over on my TDM with a top box fitted. It was very windy and there
were a few interesting moments especially passing the pillars. Felt like
someone was grabiing the rear of the bike.

The new bridge is lovely as it has sides. It's just the embankment on the
Welsh side, over the marshes, where it gets tricky.

 

Start on the left, gradually forced out to the right. Get to a pillar
and start again at the left.

My general philosophy was faster is more stable. Dunno why, more
momementum/centrifugal[1] force or whatever. Anyway stuff the 50 limit
and the close left hand lane sign - nail it.

I used to work in Chepstow and commute from Bristol. Before the new
bridge was opened they never shut the 'old' one. Although after it
seemed to be shut on a regualr basis. You are right about those
baffles, they make a big difference.

The new bridge is a vast improvement.

 

If it's twice as good as previous ones you won't miss much. I'm not
going back until I've heard from someone it's the best thing from
sliced bread and they'd give up a blowjob to go back.

As it's Manchester there's a fair chance you would get a blow job on
attending.

Well, that's a site I wasn't expecting.

 

Only one problem with the Severn bridge(s).. They go to Saisland.

 

And more to the point - HOW DID HE KNOW ABOUT IT?

I got woken up about 4am by lashing rain and wind.

The sky's mostly blue now but still very windy.

 

There's a gate (not mine) round the back of my place that keeps blowing
open. One day it'll blow off its hinges

Indeedy. I've been in two minds whether to take the bike out. There
isn't a cloud in the sky that I can see now so I'm off out in a bit.

Yep, wait 'til the wind swings round to the north. Maybe only Scotland'll
get it though.

 

Heh, just started hailstoning now.

 

Oi!

It's not some poofy lowered camp-mobile that can't even cope with speed
bumps, you know - proper A/T tyres and everything.
