good idea but you should of made it multi-choice (not just one answer allowed)
I ride to work everyday since I got my bike and try to get out atleast once on the weekend, but havent done any track days or tours yet, but definately plan to!

Now - play nice Dave LOL

Even worse - have an RVF400 in the garage and not ride it - let alone race it

Being from auckers that means you ride every day you just wait for the next season change if its raining (about 10 mins lol:D )
Are you afraid that your italian will melt in the rain?:eek:
Get some good technical gear and you won't even know when its raing other than your visor fogs up.:niceone:


Riding in the rain is good for the soul, it allows you to become one with the bike (as you suck it up through you sphincter at every intersection:eek: :eek: :eek: lol).

Seriously though my bikes would have had a lot more gravel rash over the years without the practice at unplanned slides:gob:

but to each their own I guess.

All of the above was an option, but yeah some one will always feel marginalised:Oops:

I sold my road bike too, but now thinking about putting my race kitted YZF600R motor into a 3TJ frame and throwing as much road legal stuff on it and pop 270+ down the southern motorway...or I could keep dreaming at the back of the F3 field as present :(

how ironic! for the record, BB uses some of the bets techy gear available and having test ridden his shark RS2 helmet and I know that it simply DOESN'T fog up!

getting that duke dirty is a legit greivance i think!

Well hush my mouth (followed by a icon of me being bitch slapped).
What good is a horse if you can't ride it hard and put it away wet?
Hell if I could afford a Duke it would be a problem requiring a crowbar to get me off it! :p

But I guess I only spent 7k on my bike. She scrubs up nice but ain't a pair of horny itallian twins!
