I'm going to Birmingham tonight and coming back tomorrow morning and its just started to rain. Cleaned the bike this morning ready for later and looked at the forcast.... Showers tonight and tomorrow morning.
So, shall I take my nice clean bike through the showers and get there in half the time and have a nice run on A roads or take the car and stay dry and listen to some tunes.
Decisions decisions
Bike!
It's bad enough travelling by car at the best of times, but getting stuck behind people crawling along just because it's raining............sheesh!!
At least on the bike you can nip past............and cleaning bikes is fun so you'll have that to look forward too as well :D

Normaly i'd say take the bike, but if you know youre gonna get rained on on the way then it also involves taking dry clothes etc.
I never mind riding in the rain if i have to but if i'm going visiting or something then i'd rather not arrive and say "Mind if i stand in you bath while i drip and get changed?"
if its heavy... take the car, if its only patchy shower, the bike.

Am I the only person that doesnt like cleaning bikes? I think I'm Kwak's nemisis!
The shower has passed but its given them for the next 24 hours. I'll just jump in the shower when I get to Brum,

No. Mine gets an annual token gesture of a clean. May explain why Kwak 'avoided' me at the AR.... too horrified to come near my bike :wink: :P :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've just spent most of the day giving the bike a deep clean. Even had the Akra off and on the polishing wheel................that's why it's raining now :D
Oh well, maybe it will be dry tomorrow and we'll get to the Ace with the bike looking nice :lol:

You have a polishing wheel? :shock: :love:

I think it's going to P down, so I doubt whether myself and Mrs Jonboy will turn up :( . I mean turn up at the Ace on Suzuki Day with the bike covered in crap? I don't think so! :lol:

Not lazy, some people just don't like cleaning bikes :D
I personally HATE doing housework, but will spend all day doing the bike :lol:
