Mom kindly warned me it was a dirt road etc so I knew to expect something... but what I failed to expect was the transition from seal to ~~fresh, "deep", soft, gravel...~~ MUSH at short notice... on a right hander.

I hate walking around in full bike gear. Yesterday I left my baby in the capable hand of the Mechanic, and had nothing to do so I decided to walk to the cinema - 1.5 k away. It was downhill and it was good , but when the movie finished (watched "Hitman" btw - great movie) I walk outside to discover its pissing with rain, I have to walk 1.5k uphill and can't wait for the rain to stop coz the bike centre was going to close. I received a pitying look from every biker who passed me in those 20-30 minutes. I get to the servioce and the mechanic cheered me up: "is it starting to rain out there son ?"

Just having to stop.

going out of town for the night and having lovely clear weather, so wear only jeans, normal jacket and fingerless gloves.

next day dawns and its pissing down... you guessed it. due to the nice day i left on, i left all my wet gear at home. took my entire work shift [4 hours] to get my jeans semi dry, and everything else is still wet.

DAMHIK!

I don't have them and it still bloody well hurt when I slammed into the tank on a hard stop!

Oh, and discovering that the trousers you are wearing are not really suitable for riding any length of time in 'cos you end up numb in the same aforementioned place. Sorry, tmi.

I hate corners. The bike wants to lie down all the time.
And those bloody bits without corners are pretty damned boring.

I hate stopping, because then I have to start again, which I hate even more.
I hate it when it's really hot, especially if it's sunny as well, or really humid and overcast.

When it's really really cold, I hate that even more, especially when it's raining.

Ahfuckit! The only thing I don't hate when riding is putting on all the fancy bike gear. As long as the temperature's right for wearing all that shit. Which it just about never is.

Ahfuggit!!
I'm gonna go and sit on the bike in the gargre in the nude and make BRRRRRMMMMing noises...
