You just have to rub it in don't you! Last night it dropped to 19F here and the roads are sheet ice. Major airports were closed part of yesterday and this weather seems to be set for the next week

https://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/en?s...76&OK#focus Hello David - Orestes: Is there a reason you just don't take the train from Chatham to Heathrow? Whenever I am planning a motorcycle trip to Europe, and train travel is part of the itinerary, I always use Austrian Railways to plan my routing and buy my tickets. Unless, this is the wrong Chatham, and I know that there are two in England (because I looked up yours before we met up in Barcelona) it appears it is only a 1.6 hour train ride from Chatham Station to Heathrow Terminal 1, with a transfer between Victoria and Paddington Station in London, UK.You just have to rub it in don't you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham,_Kent Think this's the Chatham, if not please correct me. Other Chatham was up North!

https://www.intellicast.com/Local/Weather.a...cation=USCA0286 As long as Orestes does not bring snow from Chatham and Niehart does not bring rain from Seattle: It looks like 70 degree days, dropping down to 40 at night; Sunny and very clear.
Since our Canadian Ladies, barb and MEM, will not be attending: There'll be no chance they'll be bringing their beloved snow with them! Hopefully, Californians will not be bringing damned fog with them. Old Michael, leave the fog in San Joaquin Valley!

You have the correct Chatham, this picture shows my locality. My house is left of centre about halfway up the hill.https://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/en?s...76&OK#focus Hello David - Orestes: Is there a reason you just don't take the train from Chatham to Heathrow?

I can get to Heathrow quite easily by train. About an hour to central London and maybe 30 mins on the underground to Terminal 5, although the plan at the moment is for my son to drive me there. The problem yesterday was our inability to cope with adverse weather, at one point 3 of the 5 London airports were closed although flights seem to be ok today (the Phoenix flight is due to depart on time).
More snow is expected through the weekend with a possibility of a thaw by the 18th. Luckily I have no work at present as all local roads are closed to vehicular traffic, my car is parked about a mile away in case I get called out. My next trip is booked for Tuesday and hopefully all abandoned cars will have been recovered by then. Until then I have far too much time on my hands and little to do.

Orestes, thanks for checking in! With your flight arrival on Tuesday, 1/19: We still have a "cushion" for any weather delays.
Since I'm retired, and my illegitimate bastard son SkooterG can't go riding with his Papa Chuy until tomorrow, I also have far too much time on my hands and little to do. So, I'm going to float Europe Moto Riding Balloon on our FJR Forum later today!

In SoCal there are 4 seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and then More Summer.
I am reminded at times like this why I stay put:
minus 52 deg. in North Dakota
74 deg. in my backyard

Orestes,
If it was possible, I could actually split our summer temperature in half, give you half of it and I'd still be warmer than most of the U.S. right now! :blink:

Don't you want him to "test" them....I mean...just to be sure they're not defective and will fit correctly?
I'm certain Don would perform this task gratis, as a service to the FJR community. Lucy Liu won't mind at all, she's amenable to Don's petting and stroking. And what girl doesn't like to wear sparkly things?
