Oh, God ( if you believe in the Almighty) can you let it do it? I mean, we, as a whole, have endured enough misery this past year. It seems like a long, long time, but please, can we??? Just a week will do, but preferably a mth. We are constantly lied to by the powers that be, we are drifted in a false sense of security which is constant. So please, please. PLEASE, Let us have some sunshine, for fucks sake. Just a week. I can't take anymore of the grey skies and constant water, it really is doing my head in now.
I think we're going to need some kind of support group to get through this winter No joking I've actually toyed with the idea of selling the Blade, selling the leathers and buying some rainproof gear and a KTM 950 SM this week. Like even to the point of sitting last night figuring out the best way to finance it
Steady on old cheese. Its only just July once this jet stream has passed the summer is ours for the taking.
No need to sell bikes just buy yourselves a nice MX......then i doesn't matter what the weathers doing.
Thank gods it's not just me. I said yesterday that I'm beginning to feel irrationally angry towards the weather?! Something, nobody has any control or say over and I'm beginning to feel my gorge rise every time I wash the car, step into the garden, even look at my leathers and it pisses down. It's happening again as I'm typing this! I purposely don't watch programming that may evoke this kind of response in me as I grew up watching my dad shouting at the television when he disagreed with it and even as a kid thought "what difference can that make". And now this fucking weather is turning me into him!!!!
An MX! Really Ash?! There's a little Jewish guy down here building a frigging great boat and rounding up people's pets!
Thing is, I feel guilty for feeling pissed off. It's only weather really, and we have friends who are I'll, lost loved ones etc... But it's a selfish thing to ask for some decent weather. Yes, I suppose I'm selfish in being really, really pissed off..it's not doing my S.A.D any good at all, the family suffers directly from my pure misery. So, inadvertently, I'm not selfish as if it's sunny, I feel loads better and this benefits my nearest and dearest. We need high pressure, lots of it for the coming months. I went to polish the bike earlier, just got halfway putting the polish on, and it started to rain... Again. And it's dark, grey and fcuking miserable, which, in turn, makes me feel miserable. Sorry for the rant, but really pissed off with it now... It's been since last september ( apart from a week in April) that we have endured this shitty, constant shitness of bastard shitty weather. It really is gash.
Ken, I got up this morning, opened the back door for a smoke, and shouted " YOU FCUKING CNUTY FCUKING WEATHER". The neighbour laughed and the missus isn't speaking to me now.... I apparently have made us look like gutter snipes. The word " weather" must have done it.
You lot forget the two dry months in march and April that broke all records and caused the hose pipe ban? That was proper bonus bike time!! Man up and stop crying your eyes out! it'll soon change and like giv says then embrace it and get out there and ride - no excuses?! Keep the faith... Indian summer I say!!
This is one of the reasons I barely even watch TV at all anymore. Not only is it mostly sh*te, it's also skewed, biased and mostly about either ramming products that you don't need down your throat or making you think that your life's not worthwhile unless you're earning pots of money as a premiership footballer or s*cking off a premiership footballer. Depending on your gender / sexual orientation. I mean seriously, do people who pay for Sky TV not realise that they're essentially paying Rupert Murdoch £50 / month for the privilege of having him install a box in your house that allows him to then sell 20 minutes of every hour of telly that he sends you to advertisers so that they can convince you that you need to borrow money / buy a new car despite the fact that there's nothing wrong with yours. I mean seriously, is it just me who sees past the smokescreen?
It made me chuckle. Besides all the rain I had the best weekends riding I've had in a long time, even if some of it was a little hairy in London and I nearly got taken out by a little old lady at the A406/A40 roundabout thing!
