| WEATHER WARNING
- March 2001 Heavy rain expected for next few months Alan has now picked up his new Hayabusa and it hasn't stopped raining since! So much so that he has only done a few miles on it and reckons it won't be due its first 600 mile service until August, that's August 2002. He was recently quoted as saying "Mines a chocolate Stewart....... Wake up, Stewart!" The reply sounded a little like "ducks off" but there again I am going slightly deaf! |

04 Snow on roads causes upset Having got the bus out for a quick ride on a sunny winters day, the weather took an unusual turn for the worse. But instead of rain, the south of England was covered in snow, deep and crisp and even. And what happens with a bike and snow? Yes you guessed it - the road came up and hit Alan! Stewart is inspecting the damage and preparing the £1456 estimate. |
