Rain

[fireblake]

Riding home soon and its pretty dreadful in my truck so not looking forward to getting on the bike for the 17 miles home.

[fireblake]

Home safe and sound.  Foccing scarey though. Lots of standing water.

[mr self destruct]

Just got in to work in similar rain. It's not the rain on the road that bothers me, it's the shit that's got through my waterproofs!
Got to spend the next 6 hours sitting in wet pants.  :\

[slimwilly]

This is nothing,,wait until Sunday and Monday,,hide

[fireblake]

My gear is pretty good and only a few damp patches.  My real hate is putting the stuff back on nextday, still damp.

[ogri48]

Not looking forward to getting back to blighty next Thursday. Here in Egypt it's been 37 degrees last three days and constant sunshine. Going on a quad ride into desert tomorrow, crucial gear is just water anda headscarf. Makes a change from me waterproofs! Petrol is 16p a litre here...ridiculous innit.

....whats fuel capacity of these camels then ogri?...noticed they got twin tanks? :lol .....16p a litre and they makin a profit on that??

[ogri48]

Yup I guess they are, but that's the 80 octane shite most of em run on, the normal stuff is a heady 18p a litre! They can't believe whe pay so much tax on stuff we can't do without like fuel. I know that big farm house me and penny are renting needs another 700 litres of heating oil for the boiler to see us thru til the lease ends in January, and its gonna cost us 420 quid!

Actually Bactrian camels are native to the Gobi Desert. That is in Mongolia. These are the twin tank camels. 
[/size]The [/size]Dromedary camel, however, has a single tank and are the ones you see in Africa and the Middle east. They do exist in various other places around the world suchas Australia and America. But that is due to exportation :rolleyes [/size]

[nick crisp]

Phew, thank foc for that! I was having some real problems before you cleared that little one up!  :lol

[taylor]

the Egyptian government subserdieses there peoples fuel because they earn so little. my bro lived in sharm for a while.

[ogri48]

Yup we are in sharm, and that makes sense mate. The people don't earn a lot. The English bloke who does the bike tours and scuba diving hadta bribe two officials five Egyptian pound each to get his car licence( he don't read Arabic) that's 50p each in English... :eek

[slimwilly]

I am in the hottub,in the garden,cooking me balls off.
Its in a summer house.pissing down with rain but the best place i know. Oh and a bottle of bud.
Dont know how to take a piccie for u lott.lol. i know u want to see mee in my caks

[nick crisp]

What wet gear set up are you using nick?

Is this to do with the camels? Cos if it is, that's part of my private life I'd rather keep private
