... all it seems to have done is rain :(

Anyone else pi55ed off at the crappy "summer" weather?

Must be an "oop north" thing

Had more sunny evenings and weekends than I can fit riding into down on the south coast...

Well the weather was okay on a few days last week but I was working. Other than that the weather's been pretty poor up here. Today is my first day off in quite a while and it's not stopped raining all day. :(

Been commuting to and from work most days and I must say it's not very enjoyable in non-waterproof leathers...I've got a one piece waterproof suit on it's way though so I'll be getting a bit more wet weather practice in. :cool:

I got a waterproof oversuit from Hein Gerike (or whatever) when I started, £50 seen them much cheaper but this was a double skin one and was fantastic.

The new one is

And that diagonal zip looks great in that it'll be easier to get that on and off than the one I've got which is a zip from neck to baubles
