weather threatens to ruin entire vacation
Sitting upstairs looking wistfully at the bike, which is wet because it is still raining (since friday eve):
I got excited preparing mentally for the trip: checked my tire tread (rear is fine, front is close at ~2.5mm but will make this trip fine then need to be replaced), thought about a bunch of stuff…
… but then i checked the long-range forecast (we are due to leave either thursday or wednesday). It is rain rain rain rain rain. Wed & thurs are “heavy rain showers”, and the satellite imagery shows front after front of heavy rainy weather moving in.
I have no idea how we’ll enjoy a motorcycle riding tour in tuscany if it is raining every day – we simply don’t have raingear that’s good enough for it. It is not an option to go out and buy such gear (think $1000s), and riding in the rain is generally unpleasant (if not unsafe) anyways.
@#$@. Pray for SUN!
awww, timmo, I hope it clears up soon…
anti-spam word is crapola….. says it all
I will be praying for great weather for your trip… sure lots of other peeps will too!

Oh dear dear dear! And it’s Beoootiful here, am sitting on deck pottering day after day and Sue is grinding her teeth in rage at having to go into dungeon-office while I don’t.
Mind you, I did get to spend ALL Sunday in a dungeon-office at Mac painted bright pink (!!!) while she enjoyed sun and family.
I can only offer you Gerry Rafferty … “If you git wrong, ya git right next time”. GK
Well, it’s freezing here in England, if that’s any consolation. But surely it must get better soon.
