I had to go to the other side of the city for a training day, I’m not sitting in traffic when I can make it a thirty minute ride on the bike.

why the fuck would you want to ride in freezing weather ...you nob

This is my commute to work this morning, thank goodness I am on leave this week. Someone else's problem

The sound of the gopro has always been crap, too much wind noise and not enough sound from the engine/exhaust. I've decided to record the sound using my phone and merge the image and sound afterwards. This is the result of the trip to work on a foggy morning and the trip back home...

I had my full winter gear on today, except for boots, I just wore my usual Harley boots. I had found my triple layer sub zero balaclava that I bought many years ago as well, I stayed nice and warm and had the chin piece on my lid flipped open all the time. It was definitely starting to freeze on my way home, it will be getting dicey out there now.

Bike is sounding pretty nice with the sound recording like this.

In the words of Oats..."I am going outside, I may be gone sometime"

As stated earlier....Lesson well learned-- & w/ NO injuries...BIG plus.++ You've definitely got some decent neighbors there. Now Shadow can further her biking experience by helping Dad re-assemble her steed. She's quite blessed to have Dad's experience @ hand for a resource.

Glad The Shadow is ok and not knocked her confidence.... neighbor knew , how could you not know you hit a bike. how well do you know the neighbor ? can you ask her if the rumor is true and her growler is horizontal.... asking for a friend

Shit this makes me laugh. Not thinking of an electric bike or car are you @Six30

Freddie gets a dead Harley

you twat

A bit of ice under the bridges but otherwise okay riding weather.

It was already -1c when I left, positively balmy.

Tell them no, you can't have restrictions on your work. Who knows what is around the corner, circumstances can change. Been through this with my Mrs when she sold her Hairdressing Salon 20 years ago now. They tried to stop her working at all within a 5 miles radius of the Salon for 5 years, we got the clause removed and the sale went ahead just fine. I think these clauses are a default that are put into business sales contract, of course you can't agree to that.

Clutch pulled?

Glad she is OK, and hope this hasn't knocked her confidence. That your kid has been knocked off must be about the worst think you can hear as a parent, can't have been much fun for you either.

We make alot of a snow event because we rarely get this much snow. I alway use to say that I hoped we would get 3ft+ of the snow, not be buggering about with 2, 3 or 4 inch of it, gonna do it, do it right.

High of -12C here today with snow. Locals will barely notice that it's cold and snowing. I'm just kidding you - I realize a little snow there is a big deal for the reasons you stated.

You live in a tree house, in the middle of the biggest forest?

Im just loving my garage heater Might even get another one so I can be extra toasty out there ... bloody freezing outside though and I still have 20 tons of leaves to clear up.

On a bike, being right and blameless doesn’t unhurt you after crashing. That’s a good lesson to learn early and without being hurt.

I didn't want to go through insurance unless I had no choice. Even though it would not have been Shadows fault it would still have gone down on her insurance record at 17. Also as you say the bike would have written off for the sake of 4 plastic panels and a screen. The prices for those parts is exorbitant, blatantly a rip off in my opinion. The bottom speedo casing slone was £99 FFS. But what can you do apart from build an ugly street fighter/cafe racer type thing. Not something she would like or me. She likes having the best, newest, cleanest CB125F in the college car park. Also the woman didn't want to go through insurance unless she had to as her excess was £500 and next years premium would have gone up. Plus I didn't push it, but she did leave the scene of an accident. On the plus side Shadow is basically fine, if a bit sore, she can't wait to be back on the road. She is tough, has been thrown off horses many times in her young life . I will be getting busy with the super glue to get her back up and running while we are waiting for the new parts to come. I did chide her a little as she was going a little fast when it happened, only 15 MPH but still to fast to stop when the woman pulled out in front of her. I told her I had seen video of the whole thing. Definitely not Shadows fault but a little more caution would have probably avoided the whole thing. I may be being a little over critical but I have years of experience and you can't expect her to get that overnight. I did take her and her mum out for posh coffee and cake to chill after the event, but she is fine, up her boy friends now.

im going to have to issue a card here clive...you keep using the word snow... and we all know what colour snow is... please refer to it from now on as frozen particles falling from the sky...
