Title: Re: HTB 2013
Post by: Dead Eye on 17 October 2013, 11:02:23 pm: I'll see what the weather forecast is a little closer (I know, its pretty damn close already) just to be sure. Hoping it won't be too bad - not too worried about getting wet... I just don't want my shiny new bike to get dirty :lol
Title: Re: HTB 2013
Post by: fazer390 on 18 October 2013, 04:11:54 pm: The weather looks to be ok with maybe the odd shower, so I've got my waterproofs out just in case... :sun
Title: Re: HTB 2013
Post by: Dead Eye on 18 October 2013, 04:25:21 pm: Where are you checking the weather? Most that I can see seem to think that its going to be a monsoon tomorrow from early morning to mid afternoon
Title: Re: HTB 2013
Post by: John Silva on 18 October 2013, 05:44:04 pm: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk) and http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather) says the same heavy rain showers. :'(
I already got a ticket tho. :rolleyes

So may have to dig out my old waterproofs and brave it.

We get enough stereotyping from cage drivers and the media without doing it ourselves, after all we are a two wheel family dont you think.

Title: Re: HTB 2013
Post by: Dead Eye on 20 October 2013, 02:40:08 pm: Just got back home in time for the heavens to open

The weather actually held off all morning so I didn't get a single drop on my lovely shiny bike ^^

It was a good ride, albeit slow, but that's sort of what happens when a couple of thousand bikers take to the same roads in one day :P
Title: Re: HTB 2013
Post by: John Silva on 20 October 2013, 04:22:39 pm: I also got back home just as before for the heavens dump it down.
Was good to Meet Dead Eye and Fazer390.
The ride was good even tho my brothers bike started overheating.
Video of my ride will be on you tube as soon as I can edit it.

Title: Re: HTB 2013
Post by: esetest on 20 October 2013, 06:08:38 pm: My first HTB , sun came out when I got to the meet , great atmosphere , nice leisurely ride to Chepstow racecourse , good bands & plenty of stalls , I didn't get to meet any Foccers there although one was alongside me for a bit during the ride , and some money raised for good causes , all in all a good day out , although it did start pissing down as I left .
