That`s me away then
« on: November 29, 2022, 05:27:18 PM »
I go off on my trip to Lapland tomorrow, back around the end of December,  not sure if I will be able to post anything but I should be able to read all the exciting tales you lot can provide me with , to keep me going through the long dark days !  I hope the xbr project goes well, probably finished by the time I get back. I will spend some time deciding what to buy with my ill gotten gains when i get home ...

It`s only about -6 at the moment, but should drop down to a balmy -15 in a week or so and hopefully a bit lower, this photo was 3 years ago, -27   (about 130 miles up from Arctic Circle)

Have a good time Rufus, and if you do see Father Christmas, ask him where my bl@@dy Ducati 900SS Mike Hailwood Replica is please? I've been asking for the last 40 years, yet still all I get is damned SOCKS >:(

Aye Rufus, glad to read that all is going well.

Temperatures here have definitely put a damper on riding, -7°C last night here, whilst Braemar went to -15.7°C, coldest in UK. Already tonight we are down to -8°C, whilst Glen Doll is down to -14°C and no temperature rise before Sunday 18th!

Watch what you're snorting, nothing worse than the sinuses freezing up.

Good health, Bill
