Sorry to be very British and talk about the weather but...............winter has officially started in North Wales..............Hail stones size of blooming golf balls!!!!  next it will be the snow. I cant believe it!!!!!!!!!! as victor once said..............had a bbq last Saturday! Poor Hettie may need an extra blanket tonight :-)   Just thought id share with you peeps                                                                                                                                                                              

Ahhh...  winter...  the best time of year bar none  
Snow and/or xmas...  what's not to like? ;
  A bit cold maybe (though often not) but you can always warm up
  (Better than not being able to cool down in the summer)  
  Admittedly, lots of ice is not so good on two wheels, but definitely improves your riding/reaction skills  

Course it could just be me   lol                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm looking forward to it, Hopefully I'll have my KLR250 back on the road by then that'll be fun! lol
                                                                                                                                                                             

it got rather blustery on way home from work not nice                                                                                                                                                                             

Bring it on! GPZ snowmobile with heated grips lol!                                                                                                                                                                             

Like winter - you crazy kids - It's 'orrible and baltic - hate winter!!   Have dug all of my tog clothing out already!  thinking of going to work in my sleeping bag, still am looking forward to xmas - have ordered myself some sunshine in Lanzarote  so that'll make up for it. (hope the runways don't ice up but don't mind if I can't get home)
Hope my pipes don't ice up again like last year - what a mare (ermm.. pipes as in house pipes that is!!)                                                                                                                                                                             

Is it a mummy bag, cause if it is and you do you may look like a penguin lol!                                                                                                                                                                             

think I can cope with a penguin look - they're quite cute really - it's better than my normal look like a                                                                                                                                                                                     

Better than looking like an idiot lol!                                                                                                                                                                              

I'm sure the whole of the South will be fully prepared this year...

We'll have run out of grit by New Year, cars will be abandoned along the M3 and the airports will be SNOCLO yet again.

3 cheers and all that :)                                                                                                                                                                             

Lol, British winter planning at it's best.  Let's not forget all the BMWs careering all over the place ;)                                                                                                                                                                              

I read an article in Auto Express, a chap with a BMW wrote to his council to complain about the lack of grit and snow clearance down the unadopted road he lives on.

The council's advice? Change the car!                                                                                                                                                                             

 Blooming car drivers, its all about them.....hows about us bikers... grit, ice, snow, slush, wet leaves etc etc.... personaly I cant wait for spring... by the way we've had 4 lots of hail stones this evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! poor little hettie, wish I could bring her inside x

Wet leaves and acorns/chestnuts are a nightmare and there's plenty of them lying around already.

Hail stones? :(                                                                                                                                                                             

Yup hailstones and quite big ones judging from the lumps that were lodged down my laddies back pmsl...poor thing needs to toughen up! Shame my cat's decided to go and obviously move in with someone else though but have a sneaking suspicion a little old lady with a very convenient cat flap has cat napped him because I don't have a cat flap and he likes beds...

Thought my window was going to cave in with the golfballs but apparently it's lovely in Bournemouth though....

sunny here and my washings out lol.
cue the rain!                                                                                                                                                                             

Winter, hate it, hate, hate it   Dark nights, cold, wet, and bloody miserable,   But thats just me.....   If i had my way i'd spend from about now till march in the SOF and only come back once it warmed up again, so probably about next August for about 2 hours then   Had an epic 300 mile hoonabout on Sunday last and it was glorious, now it's all cold and 'orrible, really not looking forward to it !!                                                                                                                                                                             

Its all about your tyres stick knobblys on all bikes could be fun with ya sports bikes lol                                                                                                                                                                             

  Just come back from Cornwall, with Nellie, weather wasn't too bad for October but the accommodation was well below standard and felt damp, being situated next to a mini forest didn't help. The up side was I got to see a few squirrels, rabbits and a toad, the toad jumped on Nellie's foot as he was walking along the path. lol   It's cold here (Huddersfield)
