If it makes you feel better i got wet this morning too , i ride the mountain bike to work as i aint got a car either :bawling, bit easier for me as i can just wear shorts though. If im honest the weather was one of the main reason i stop commuting and became a fair weather rider.


Cheers,

Not today -no.

Was on nightshift last night and was going to take the bike in to the fire station, but didn't like the look of the weather forecast for finishing time at 8:00am this morning.

So I took the Vectra and just as well too - 'cause its been pissing down since 7:00am this morning and still is!!! :angry

Nights again tonight and I'll be taking the car again. Need to take me laptop in and get some work done anyway.

Mind you, I did a double take this morning, sat in a line of slow moving traffic, rain chucking it down- and a Ducati 1098 filtered past me. :eek:
 
pissin it down here too,not stopped yet ffs.
i was meant to be taking the bike in for a service,oil/plugs ect but she can stay in the garage till poxy weather gets its act together.
wheres the consistency?? sposed to be hot again for the weekend!
have you dried off yet buddy?
 
Ritch its a ******* aint it, but ya on for awinner in the shorts you will be dry in no time:thumbup

Got my leathers hanging up on the office chairs lol theres a nice puddle underneath which im sure the boss is going to be happy about,

wanted to pop out for me lunch aswell but if i do im going to be piss wet through again in seconds ahh man ohh the joys of a car

Think i might have to invest in a rot box for the rainy days

I got soaking wet this morning too. Then I stepped out of the shower, dried myself and spent some time in my garage bleeding my rear brake, (again) and the clutch. As it's dry here I may go out later.
