  7. yeah was quite wet last night and this morning... dry again by lunchtime though... that sux with the kitchen mate.. call in the plasterers an go out for a spin :)
     
  8. Got the builders in... they were the cause. Didn't properly cover up but they're putting everything right.

    Looking forward to getting out on the bike again. It's been about 3 weeks, which is a huge amount of time for me as I am usually on it all the time. Too much house stuff to deal with at the mo.

  9. It's the law! New bike = bad weather.

    Only once in my life have I picked up a new bike and not ridden home in the rain.

  15. I rode to work in the sun today I don't know what this rain you speak of is.
     
  16. 1/10 - must try harder :)
     
  17. I actually enjoy the rain, blasting along with the right gear on the water getting blown off the visor, have done many a mile in the wet...I am from Yorkshire it's part of the deal, I went to the Bol dor 1994 on a gsxr 750 my mates went home after the racing but I didn't want to go home, so they left me with the groundsheet out of our large medieval tent, so I went round to a campsite at st Maxine? Lent my bake against a tree tied the groundsheet to it and that was my tent...when I say it rained for 5 days I mean it rained...I laid watching the water rise towards me then rain would slow and it would subside, as I was on a tree base I was slightly higher, it was horrible I rode home with a lovely couple from bridgewater through France...those were the days, blasting off to watch endurance racing for a long weekend in all weathers...sod the rain we would never set off if we waited for good weather, great way to improve all round skills in the wet, my 749 stopped in the wet, but both 848's saw it plenty.
