  4. why Thank you Ian - you really spelt it out for me there... :mad: :)
     
  5. have a ton of footage in picture/video form but not sure if I can upload today
     
  6. Sorry Chris! It's just that I also said I would pop round and see Jerry's new toy next week if he hadn't binned it by then - then saw today's post! Anyway, glad you are both OK.

    Why did you go out today though, seriously?! Funny, but about as bad as it gets. Anyway, I was thinking about getting an Enduro bike, KTM450 or similar...... maybe I should treat myself for Xmas too?!

    Happy Xmas, and hope no harm done to man or toy.....

  7. ahem! one of us rode right through the middle of it, the other walked his along the footpath past the wheeliebins (and i'm still not sure if 'the other' was dropped judging by the mud on the back suspension) :wink::wink:

  8. wow, when I came through the micky bends at 01:30 this morning it wasnt as bad as that, fair play for you venturing out, Chris did you notice if the Running horse had got flooded, I am due to go there for a meal Friday as it my Birthday
     

  9. as you well know (and the pictures illustrate), I had to get off the pavement onto the grass verge to get past the wheelie bin. Resulting in a very wayward rear and a very concerned rider! It was only when the motor cut that I had to get off and push :tongue:
     
  10. Jerry demonstrating his cycling experience...use the pavement ;-)

  11. oh yeah, and if you want to know how to wind up a perfectionist, ride your shiny new pride and joy through a big puddle. Squirming he was. Kept looking at the bar towels, then the door :biggrin:

  14. Yep feel sorry for all those that won't be having a Christmas meal at the boxhill hotel as its a few feet under water, with more rain to come ☔️☔️

    Right off to light the BBQ have a great Xmas all
     
  15. Burford bridge hotel it's just behind Rykas which was also under water yesterday, the whole area is cattle trucked, and more to come on Friday
     
  16. With Box Hill waterlogged the only other meet I've heard about for Boxing Day is an 11am ride out from Destination Triumph to Plumpton. But I'm not even sure that's still on? And if it's icey, well...
     
  17. Well, Box Hill is out for tomorrow.

    You're all welcome to head up to my place! I'm on high ground and plenty of space :)
     
  18. Do you have mince pies?
