I wish I'd taken the car - I got too hot on my bike. Stayed very dry though.
The wet weather incites all the car drivers to even greater displays of idiocy though - in one 50m stretch of street, I had three (3!) of the bastards pull out on me.Wish I'd had a weapon.
Apart from overheating, and dozy drivers, the only problem was the rear tyre spinning up. I told Biker Gurrrl when I got to work, and she said, "Perhaps you should get a Harley - it wouldn't do that! Or perhaps that should be a 'Hardly' Davidson!"
She didn't ride her Harley (883 Sportster) though, but said she's riding it to the X-Men III premiere tonight, rain or not.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
Well they call me tripod.

Just replace your standard knee sliders with the titanium ones that have sharp points on them (like the ones that the yellow biker dude in Torque had).. and just 'ram' into the sides of carsOriginally Posted by vifferman

Ok so where is a good place to park up the bikes at Village Cinemas, Broadway, Newmarket.Originally Posted by vifferman
I got a ticket to this movie.... and want to have my bike in a safe spot.....
Last night was even worse - had a centimetre of water in my left boot whilst my waterproof over trousers stayed dry - in my rucksack![]()
Dried all my gear off - stuck the tumble dryer hose in the boot which worked a treat, dry and warm and only on a 40 minute cycle, and got back on the bike this morning - with over trousers on.
Get your boss to give you a hot water cupboard to hang your gear in then by home time they will be all nice an dry.Originally Posted by Swoop
Mine is hanging in my hot water cupboard at the moment... well I am am at home now...lol.
Rode in today, coming up the southern in the "extra" lane, I had a van that was one car in front decide to move across to the left, then stayed (still with its indicator on) straddling both lanes, the dotted lines running perfectly down the middle. Stayed there for a good 15 seconds, then gently finished his lane change. Mind you, all the windows were fogged up, so possibly he couldnt see which lane he was in anyway.
the hot water cupboard works a treat for drying stuff..Originally Posted by NZ-ZX

What you need is GAITERS. From the friendly army surplus place in K road, opposite the billboard of the chick with the humungeous hooters (actually , must check if that bill board is still there).You can't miss them $12.50 and a bargain at twice the priceOriginally Posted by NZ-ZX

No issues no problems. Hardly any rain. And the roads are washed clean by now. (Though I did have to drain Ratty's rear indicator , which was COMPLETELY full of water!. Wondered about the odd looking light from it. )
