nickerbelly 0 Posted September 19, 2011 I'm sure there are a number of us who did our time as "real bikers" - I was a despatch rider before I joined the army and used to deliver the news videotapes from incident/interview sites to the tv studios when I lived in devon (before the days of the internet!) - including more than once during severe gales that were blowing over trees and lorries!!! - but there comes a time in life when riding in shitty weather starts to seem an unnecessary pastime so I am quite happy to join the ranks of "fair weather bikers" - except when I'm off travelling the country, where getting caught in bad weather is all part of the experience!
