I left my bike out in the rain for the weekend, three days and nights of pretty steady downpour.
And today it punished me for my cruelty, by god it did!
I rode it to work and whenever it got over about 4000revs it began to stutter and miss and urrr, it was nasty. I drained the little bit of remaining fuel at a gas station and flushed the system with new fuel, didn't help.
So I stuttered and staggered crawled to uni at about 40kph, keeping it below 3500 where it was good. Bloody cars whizzing by me in the rain honking at me and splashing me with gigantic sprays of puddle-water.
I had to ride on the cycleway to get out of the traffic.
Six hours drying off under cover and it was fine again, but geez, that was a sad ride to work!
Task for this weekend: Get a cover.
Oh, this is a picture of our lawn, where we keep the bike and scooter. Really really wet.
