Sunday morning (my time) and we have heavy RAIN, stuck indoors, waiting for the pub to call at mid day.
Only good thing is I get to sell Doo Rags on Ebay and visit the forums.

| It wasn't nice here yesterday. It was today. But since I spent the whole weekend at work, the only difference was that cigarette breaks were a little drier... I wouldn't mind so much, but it was a weekend of taking mighty strides backwards on one of my projects, so very little consolation all round. Hope you made a profit on eBay, at least!

Just a few scattered showers up my way otherwise it was clear roads and four hours ish of biking. Hope ebay was kind to you.

Ebay is slow but I have only just started selling them.
Trying to make a few extra quid while I save for the next bike, I am going for quick turnover sooner than ripping people off, i would sooner make 500 X 50p than 25 X £10 so people get a bargain and I don't hang around with things for months on end.
I might start selling things from the bike shop as I get a very good discount at work!

| The bloody weather is incorrigible. I don't have huge opportunities to ride strictly for pleasure, but I managed to persuade the wife to jump on the back of the venerable Nine last week after a blisteringly warm day, an opportunity to slaughter a few thousand flies, short blast to Hawkhurst from Hastings in East Sussex and then back for a pie via Battle. Sister bribed to babysit, kids glued to the telly, leathers on and then a broiling of the heavens and within minutes a Tolkienesque battle sky descended spitting silver bullets at us, hadn't even made it to the effin garage. Still bollox to the weather, we got a bit damp but finally managed to outrun the cloud after about five or six miles. Don't know about you lot, but it's the cold affectimg me at the mo, the dodgy ankles always a sure sign, they've ached like feck for the last coupla days, had to switch the central heating back on. It's hard being a crippled lizard!

| It's knees for me: ache when it's merely cold, go like two bags full of sharp gravel when it's cold AND wet. Dropped on 'em one too many times, I guess. Had the central heating on this week too, for that very reason. Mind you, dodgy circulation/joints/hearing and all - if I had my time again, I'd still choose to ride bikes. Just have to hope that by the time they're all proper knackered, medical technology will have caught up and I can grow a new pair. Blenk, just curious - if you sell other bikestuff on eBay, is it still VAT-exempt like regular purchases on Jersey? If so and there aren't any import duties, that could work out quite a bargain.

Yes VAT free at the moment.
We even offer to pay the VAT if customs catch them in their net if its ordered online.
I think it says that in either the T&C's or the FAQ's.
I'll just check....................
Yep. just copied this link

Weather has taken an upturn this week sun, sun and more sun, and we have topless beaches by the side of the road, now thats a good reason to have a sit up and go slow Harley. LOL

One thing I like about rain is washing the cars and my bike is made easier in the rinsing department leaving not a single streak when dried off when the weather turns for the better LOL I go out in my waterproofs and wash 3 cars and the bike if its out and let the rain rinse them off, saves getting the hose out!
Don't slide unless you mean too.Be sure, ride safe and enjoy

Two weeks off from next Saturday, so the weather had better change for the better or else.
Or else what I hear you think.
Or else I'm going to
Wait for it..............

Yep it's raining here too up Retford way. I would have been out today but the XT needs a clean so that's what I'll be doing. Of course when that's done then I might just go for a little foray provided Mrs Spartan doesn't have anymore 'urgent' jobs for me to do!!!
