Fark me its a slippery one out there today...

No rain for ages and then a light drizzle... brought every last drop of car poo to the surface. On top of that I went 2-up on the GSXF and adjusted the rear shock... then it rained.. harder! C-spanner at home now 1-up. Was not pleasant! The suspension was really wrong for both the conditions and being 1-up.. and it really showed! I had both wheels sliding out over bits of oil and all sorts of "oh shit" moments! It was almost like ice out there!

Lane splitting was not too bad, but the drivers were getting particularly 'ratty' and being extra stupid!!

Take it easy out there folks!!!!

Im off to reset my suspension.... hehe

Had to see client over the shore so left New Lynn on the Harley after checking out the Skytv radar and calculating dry roads for at least 4 hours.

Walked in the door mid-afternoon and put the jug on and it pissed down. As I've just got back from a 2600k trip down to Christchurch and back the front tyre is decidely dodgy so am very glad I missed the fun you had, and have ordered up a new tyre for Monday.

Take it easy out there!

ahaha - I waited at work till the rain stopped. Just caught a little drizzle. Not too slippery when I headed home @ 18:30. Went carefully though - just in case.

Rain never hurt anyone.
