    Yep, that counts! I put a couple of those 1 quid disposable humidifiers in there too. If you haven't seen them, it a small plastic container with white beads inside - collects moisture in the bottom. Pound shops and most supermarts have them, generally in the cleaning or general household goods aisle.;)

    I've got radiators in there that go on over winter, I'm up there alot as there's a summer house attached to it so don't get any damp in there. I used them humidifier boxes in an old car that got a leak, they are pretty good for the size of them.

    Who wrote that shite?

    How the friggin' fortunes change overnight. It's light arriving home from a hot date full of expectation for the next day and then you get the text message: 'Sorry, I don't think it'll work out.:('

    Friggin' light rain here so you could say that it's rained on my parade. I don't really mind a light sprinkle, but a man has to draw the line somewhere. I mean, one just can't get Marchesini wheels wet!:D

    The most accurate weather is always provided by looking out of the window on the actual day :D

    @Lozzy, please keep up with my bikes!:)

    The 'all weather tootling' was the VTR. Sold it after 6 weeks cos I liked it so much I just HAD to graduate to a VTR SP1. In the midst of my searching forum member @Millsp1 slips a friend's Aprilia on to the forum, and well, you know, the rest is history!:rolleyes:

    Problem now is that I don't have the said 'all weather tootling' bike. I suppose I could put in an offer for that blue THING that was going to be a track bike!!:D:D
