Cos its cleaned the crap off the roads, now i can lean when doing roundabouts and take better lines through the bends. Walking down the canal today yer should of seen the colour of the water running in off the roads, in 1 spot the water n oil poured in like emulsion.
Glad i've got 2 sets of riding gear 1 for crappy weather and my Sunday best leathers. Wouldn't it be nice to have 2 bikes....if money was no object i'd have a Triumph Speed Triple for dry days and BMW F650 for the other 300 days !

What 2 bikes would you choose?


Pat

ps and i'd haveto keep the CB250RS cos it's a Classic in the making Smile

Yeah its wet near me and has warmed up - 8c today - feels like summer again!

The roads aren't as bad either.

Two bikes - Either a KTM or Beemer for crappy stuff - they just do it very well.

Weekend Fun - Desmo just to be a tart Very Happy

Thumbs Up

I can cope with the cold, and it keeps the rain away. Funny how the instant the temps have risen the rain is back.

Maybe a good idea, absolutely silly power deliver with something not really fit for a road!

I prefer rain to cold. I can stand the cold. But it's when they bring the salt and shit out. You can' ride thb ike properly. With the wet roads you can actually still have fun! I did yesterday, apart from the M40, which is never fun although there was about 2 inches of salt Shocked

When I got to G's house my helmet, and bike and whatever parts of me isn't covered by the fairing looked horrible! Laughing

Tried wiping my visor. No go. So I had to really push hard agains't the visor and wipe and then it worked. Evil stuff Evil or Very Mad

Managed to write "BOO!" on my windscreen though Laughing
