Rain Am, Windy Pm but I still got out Lol.....

Woke up this morning to the usual sound of rain, it's becoming an habit here and it's supposed to be Bloody Summer!!!. Any way, up and about washed the car's did something in the Garden (yes it had stopped raining by then), I said to the wife I'm off out on the bike for a bit so off to the Triumph dealer to see if I could get something to hold my Tom Tom XL1 on to the bike, not much look there, so then it was a Bimble up the Motorway to Squires cafe n shop to see if they had anything that would suite, they had something but it was too loose on the handle bars so back to the drawing board for that one. Hopefully next Sat 30th June it will be the Ace Cafe in London (please don't Rain, please). Below are a few pic's a took of some bikes at Squires Cafe..

My Eldest Lad's Stag Doo

Not a GT day 2 moro but my Eldest lads Joint Stag weekend with one of his good mates from school. There is approx 27 of us going up to Middlesborough for the morning to Go Karting outside for an hour then Gareth and the rest of the Gang including Ashly my youngest who is Gareths Best man are off up to Newcastle for the night. Looking what the weather is going to be doing on Sunday I think the GT will be staying in the Garage this weekend. Hope it will be better for Sat 30th June as Phil & me are hoping to get down to the Ace Cafe which we had to postpone for 2 weeks because of the rain here.....

Dodging the Gale's & Rain Clouds..

Well if this is supposed to be Summer UK style they can keep it, we had better weather in March & April this year !!!!! We have been planning a trip South to the Ace Cafe on Sat 16th,June 2012 for a good old ride out, but today the wife & I had a trip to the local Motorcycle shop to purchase some WATERPROOF suit's just incase, you know only on the off chance we get more rain next weekend or any other day we decide to have a Bimble out & get caught out in the wet stuff (se photo below). LOL. We did manage to get a Bimble out today & not evan to where we we're supposed to go 2, but at least we got out. We ended up going out to a place called Brigg near Scunthorpe to a Garden Centre (yes on the Bike), had a cheeky cuppa & a bite to eat, a look round then headed home via the Humber Bridge which I was gonna go across until I saw the Monsoon that was blowing in on the bridge so we diverted away from the wet & got home Shaken not Stirred or Wet... Roll on next Saturday,I do hope the weather kind for all 4 of us so we can visit the Ace Cafe... Me holding up one the Wet Suit's I bought, they pack up quite small.

Out 2.6.12 coz it's gonna Rain 3.6.12 !!!!!

The wife went shopping so I did'nt lol. I got in to my Leathers & had a blast out to Willingham Woods in Lincolnshire to a Bikers Cafe in a Lay by. Had to get out today seen as the forcast for 2moro is Rain all day I took a few snaps on my mobile as you can see below, the Ducati sounded nice & with a price Tag of £25,000.00 English pounds that is it needed too. A good ride but need to contact the Triumph Dealer next week because when I fill up the tank with Petrol the Fuel Gauge is not showing full evan after the alotted 10 mins you are supposed to give it to settle, it's all a digital clock (fuel etc anyway).
