Wet enough for you?

How far to the nearest set of premium quality corners on your motorcycle? Or should I say 'corner'.

Dirt bike is the answer - big thumper or V-twin and get it moving sideways.

It's bucketing down in the big Welly at the moment. I've got my gear spread out around my office space slowly dripping onto the carpet.

The gloves are sitting near to the PC drying gently, and I've just wiped down the helmet (careful).

Just wondered if anyone in NZ managed to ride to work in the dry this morning?

Perfect weather for miss-behaving on an enduro or supermotard bike...

Something like a ........................................Buell XB12X, perchance.....?

no work today so took off to palmy and feilding.
was soaked right through by the time i hit the highway, lol. [thermals, jeans, boots and socks. feet were half swimming! ick] top stayed relatively dry, but drying the gear is another thing. my denim vest and leather jacket are both drenched. had to buy a pair of gloves in palmy cos mine were destroyed, got a proper pair of thinsulate kids ones [finally a pair that fit!] from savemart.

not too bad a ride over though, aside from tailgators. theyve strung up that cheese cutter shit on certain corners, which freaked me right out.
saw about 6 other bikes on the road....one cruiser in palmy and the rest sportsbikes on the open road. cruiser waved....no one else did.
got lost in fielding [whoops!] and massey uni was graduating, so people in cap and gown everywhere in palmy....closed roads etc.

got home feeling like a block of ice, so defrosted in the bath. never been so cold!

[Jamezo]

Ahah! You're the cheeky palefaced little sucker that lanesplits with his lights off and barges past at the lgihts! (pt)

The "Orange" Z750S downstairs is mine - coffee is in order sometime.

Always thought that you reminded me of one of the characters of the Flinstones...

[sunhuntin]

[Str8 Jacket]

[Insanity_rules]

Anyone for wet undies?? Riding in the rain is not that fun. I got to work reasonably dry, new gear is working well.

[paturoa]

I'm confused, the new gear in your wet undies?

[hunt]

edit: hey pwalo, you arnt the owner of that blue bike near King toyota in the hutt here are you?!

May be a chap by the name of Mr Stone, The colour Guy

[Oakie]

I've got good waterproof gear so I don't give a shit about a 20 minute commute in the rain. A lake covering the carpark when you get to work is a different matter though.
And like others have said, I do miss the CRT monitor to dry the gloves with.

[QUOTE=NodMan]
but I know that the first 10 mins tonite my leather gloves will be saturated and then the issue beema gear should be leaking by the third hour...

BM gear leaking? Oh Dear and bugger.
What happened to the Spidi stuff?

Still, you could always go visiting when it's wet.
Oh sorry, that was another time and another traffic dept.
