Hi all,
Well, i've just spent my first evening working on the bike outside, and how freaking cold it it?? Maybe it's the carb cleaner all over the hands, nope toes are damn cold as well! If this is only october, then hell, might as well order the heated grips now lol!
Fixing up my ebay zephyr so i can ride through winter instead of being a fair weather boy again, hopefully this trusty (lol not so far!!) steed will see me through the darker months, and even more hopefully meet up with some of you all!
Take care, now, where's that damn patio heater......

                                                                                                                                                                             

Yep.............it's cold, right enough!!!      It was lovely this afternoon, been out in just a t-shirt and jeans, went to get the washing in this evening and it was sooooooooooooo cold!!  I've put the heating on..                                                                                                                                                                              

Yup, I have already started taking medication for my raynauds and usually it's end if November before I touch it                                                                                                                                                                             

Yep it's bloody cold here to! been working outside on sons scooter. Just wondering shell did the gP prescribe for raynards - didn't think you could get anything for it when  I last asked!                                                                                                                                                                              

Been back inside an hour now and i'm still cold!!! Yeah, it's been lovely during the day - typical as A, i've neither bike taxed at the mo, and B, stuck in an office all day, booo!!
Need to get some sun on me, so wanna just go get on a plane and head somewhere hot :-)                                                                                                                                                                             

Sporti ... yup ... its the same stuff they give to patients with Angina ... you can have Adalat gell... thats a quick kick of the stuff, I take that when the weather suddenly turns cold and I have not had my other stuff , also I have Nifedipine which I can take up to 10mg 4 times a day to keep me going through the winter and speed up my circulation.

They dont like to give it out, as one of the side effects is that it lowers your blood pressure rapidly and speeds up your heart rate amongst other things and its easy to overdose on but I used to get chill blaines so bad when it was cold they had to do something for me or I risked it becoming worse I am supposed to take it all year round ... but dont as I dont want to get to the stage where its not working in the winter , which is a possibility if I am always on it                                                                                                                                                                              

To be fair, I may put my thermal lining in my jacket for next week.  But we'll see, I have the advantage that it's only around ten to fifteen minutes from the lock up to work and I can put up with the cold for that time.                                                                                                                                                                             

Deffo need to buy meself some winter gloves now i'm back riding in winter. Mebbe heated grips too if i'm gonna be really soft! Can't wait to get back on it though, been a while since i had my leg over lol!                                                                                                                                                                             

Coolest day yet? Still had brill day out at Stafford tho'.

Some bright spark once suggested putting Fiery Jack cream on fingers and toes before kitting up to keep the cold out.
