I saw a couple of brave bikers on the M1 as I headed in this morning (one at Lissenhall junction, the other exiting M50 near Santry).

It's a tad windy out there all right!

No issue for me either, but there were a couple of christmas trees blowing about in the estate

Twas windy in the car for the first 82kliks..then the next 10 kliks on the bike into town were not too bad..but it was very very bad overnight so the warnings were justified.

Being a Failure Isn't as easy at it looks.

I missed the warnings (Ive given up looking at the news and weather, nothing good ever comes from it) I woke at about 4am thinking our house was winging its way to OZ, looked out this morning and glad to see no yellow brick road! Absolutely insane wind last night

In fairness, the cover had been ripped off the zx10 this morning - so 'twas fair breezy overnight.

Has a lot to do with which way the bike/house is facing, as the cover was grand on mine....SO FAR!

Twas mental here last night and today. Fence panels stayed put, wish I could say the same about the unsecured deckboards that were lying in the back garden. Nothing damaged, thank God.
