me + bike = rain

[pepperami]

I just dont believe my luck
for many reasons, i hav`nt been out on a bike this year until today.

so i`m looking forward to having a spin and shaking off the cobwebs.
all eager, i get the bike from the garage, kit up (helmet, gloves, ect ect), swing my leg over the bike and what starts to happen!!!..... i dont fecking believe it
still i went ahead anyway, but tippy toe until i`m back in the swing off things again.
stopped at a little rural forecourt to get some petrol, and they still have an attendant to come out to fill your tank and take your money which is nice!
he looks at me and says "two rays of sunshine and you lot are all out," laughing as he offered me a rag to wipe the water from my visor.
suppose i had better stay in for another three months

Only thing I dislike about rain when on the bike is if my kit isn't waterproof.

Some of my best rides have been in the wet, you can lean a lot further than you think.

It happens all the time to me, I get really hypered up about a ride get getting then look outside and it;s pissing it down.

the ironic thing is : the amount of flack i have had from my mates for not riding in the worst of the weather (pussy boy, fairweather and suchlike )

Earlier in the week I finally managed to get the Bandit as clean as it's ever been in the last 4 months of owning it
... only to have to come to work in the rain this morning...

So now I have to wait until the next dry day again and start from square one

Very annoying when you clean the bike and then it rains the next time you ride it, leaving it looking like a pile of poo. ESPECIALLY when you use ACF50! The consolation is that it's still protected heh. For those of us who ride all year round out of necessity, we're just used to it I guess.

I have been on the bike for the last week because the car is in being repaired, so days when it's pissing down (ie: yesterday) when I'd normally say 'fuck it' and get in the car I've had to ride.

My gloves are still wet from Saturday morning's downpour, though it was fantastic sunshine today... and loads of cagers driving extra slow so I couldn't enjoy that either!

Offered overtime but took the weekend off to ride as been away from the bike for a month.
Yesterday was a bit wet but today made up for it!!!! Swings & Roundabouts with the knee on down(I wish!)

I don't even have a car. I use the bike 365.
