![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well to say it was interesting is an understatement, I got onto the A2 and it began to rain then as I rounded the bend at Kidbrooke the skies opened and a deluge of hail stones the size of 10p pieces fell out of the sky. I had to drive about 3/4 of a mile in it befoe I could take refuge under a bridge. It bloody hurt too, my knuckles and legs are a bit sore now - it also felt like I had my head in a bucket and had made a wrong turn onto a driving range. Did anyone else experience this on the way home? |

Blue skies on my way home.
About the worst thing that happened to me was opening the throttle hard coming out of a bend to see a puddle. No problem thinks me, and carries on giving it some. Turns out that below the shallow water lies a patch of mud. Massive fishtail on the exit to the bend, release the throttle, it gripped again & off I went again. HTH. |

Brixton got hit with hail so thick that people made hail men on the footpath after it was done. i don't know what was wrong with the drains, probably full of rubbish, but most of Brixton road was covered in 6 to 12 inchs of water that wasn't going anywhere. Now that was a fun ride home too.
glad to hear it wasn't just me! |

a few weeks ago, after a typical english tropical rainstorm, i too hit that puddle after a bend, only to realise that it wasnt a puddle at all.
it saved me washing my underwear and trousers, |
