    Was intending to come but dont see much point in riding for the sake of it in this rain.

    I'd love to venture out on greasy wet roads ;-), but alas the RVF is in the shop getting a quieter exhaust fitted (whadya mean 118 decibels is too loud for a wof!). Maybe Thursday night?

    Yeah I thought it was a bit heavy for a proper ride too. But I did test my new gear in the rain and can fully recommend strada. Rode for an hour in the down pour and was dry as.

    A culvert that blunders out in front of you waving a white cane perhaps?

    ha ha ha very funny guys lol nah blind meant it was on a corner and I didnt see it till the very last minute. Wasnt painted or coloured brightly lit up with flashing signs saying "I AM HERE". My front tyre just clipped the outside edge of it and thats all it takes.

    Ouch! Finding something like that on what you thought was the apex would certainly tend to ruin your ride.

    Hope everythings back together and rolling ASAP.

    Where do you exactly meet up and when? I finally have a bike that will keep up
    Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.

    I knew you'd say something
