right its never bothered us before but its now getting rather wet in this part of the world..

we live on the top of a hill and everyone else gets the rain..just been on to the local shop and been confronted with a lake where the path usually is,
my garden is filling up now and my carpets wet behind the front door, i've got a pond on the floor of my shed and both bikes are covered up inside it, Im Indoors came in this morning on the Raptor like a drowned rat, and its covered up in the garden, full of rain.
so how is the rest of the org.....cause its grim ooop norf

I took a detour home from the missus's last night and it was the worst thing I coulda done, you can tell what roads get used and which dont, the 4rse end was all over the place, i started to get used to it in the end but the first time it shat me up. The roads that do get used, have got to a stage where they are grippy now cos there has been so much rain. My kit is all soaked except for me leathers cos yesterday it was dry and the roads :-o

Spose its better than the ice ent it...

I've actually noticed a lot more rain recently.

We did have a water hose ban, not anymore. I usually seem to miss the rain, either comes before or after I get home/to work, but recently it hasn't only rained whilst im riding, but its always been torrential rain and its bloody hard to ride in. Even with rain-x, anti mist, pinlock lid, the water still eventually creaps in the visor, steaming it up, creating rain marks, cars rear lights become like stars in the sky.

I don't mind actually riding in the rain, its everything else around it i hate :lol:
