The most shite day of weather we have had since early April, the day you insure your bike and are looking forward to smiling on two wheels again, which hasnt been possible since October 3rd 2003! Having to stand under a tree in the town centre for 15 mins because the rain was so heavy you could barely see through your visor......Go on put a price on that, I fucking dare you!!

There are some things money cant buy....

For everything else there is a fucking massive credit card bill Crying or Very sad Middle Finger




Left out the bit about confidence going from good, to 'trace' as soon as the key turned in the ignition, and am actually finding the bike incredibly scary and difficult to ride at the moment, with brand new tyres....in the rain

One goose, feeling very sorry for himself, watching the rain run down the window.....

Havent felt this deflated in ages Sad

Well a little burnout will sort the back tyre, some heavy braking the front. Try an umbrella for the rain.

its not the money, money is shit, its mainly the day that has rained on my parade, literally

Stop being such a wet lettuce and go and ride in the rain.

Cor in my day... Rolling Eyes

Wink seriously though, get out on it and get soaked. Ride it all evening and then see how you feel. Mr. Green

Nowt wrong with riding in the rain, my favourite rideout was in fact in terrential rain, only had one other ride out in about 9/10 months that has come close. All the others are great but not as good as the rain one! Laughing

Hi Goose

You really do like splashing out when you buy a bike.

Think I might have to get myself on the waiting list for an ex Goose bike.

Only odd thing is, if the OE down pipes were stainless why did they need replacing?

All the best

Keith
