bastard weather

[dick dastardly]

For some reason I decided to ride the bike into work today even though I haven't been on it for about a month

Now it is pi$$ing it down outside and I'm not looking forward to the ride home one little bit. Especially as my race-suit is still in my bedroom

Anyone here got a van they can come and put me and Kelis (my bike) in and take us home?

Ditto - lovely ride to work this morning and now wet, cold and miserable.

Roadworks and traffic jams most of the way home too - bummer!

Think I'll leave the bike in the garage tomorrow and get the car out again...

Well it's raining here as well, and I didn't realise till I got home yesterday (my 1st time out in the dark) that I had no rear light or brake light

Been lovely & sunny here in Berks all day boys, sorry

[dick dastardly]

ooh, that wasn't fun

I remembered to avoid all painted markings on the road and man-hole covers. Christ, I noticed the difference between tipping down rainy winter days and nice sunny summer days, especially with no visibility whatsoever from my visor - had to ride with it up.

Oh well, atleast my 20 minute commute was cut down to 5 minutes

What do you do with your visors when it's cold, dark and pi**ing down?

If the visors down and you're not moving fast, you can see f**k all - and if you have the visor up, then you get all the spray, from the car in front, in your face.

Felt like I was wearing a goldfish bowl last night!

[dick dastardly]

I had to have it half way, so that I could just peek under it but was only getting some spray in my face

Visor down, Fog city on the inside, RainX on the outside and ride carefully for me.

[Yoda954]

'fraid I keep an eye (in as much as is possible) on the forecast & take the car if there's much chance of wet roads. water, salt & motorbike = not good
(this is also a good excuse for not riding too much in the cold )

I thought about using rainX on my visor but doesn't it say on the bottle not suitable for plastics? I avoided using it on the rear window of the Tiv for the same reason...?
