Scottish weather eh?
 

Went out yesterday morning all the way up to st andrews only to run in a hailstorm. Ive never ridden in one before let alone the roads being wet as well. Certain areas were blazing sunshine and dry roads. Glad the wheel alignment was done and the throttles were balanced in the wet on bt 21s the bike was planted and didnt miss a beat. Crazy weather.

Same here got over the bridge into Dundee went to see my old instructor and a cloud burst on me :-( . Similarly when I passed my test had to do it in Kirkcaldy because Dundee test centre was fully booked. riding home got onto the dual carriageway and flash and then thunder and hail had to ride back to Dundee in slush taking it nice and easy. Got home was a tad nervous to say the least but made me a better rider imo. I just hope all this rain will lead to a great summer.

Yeah, in a word (or two) ITS PISH, always bloody rains the min I finish work or think about going out. :(
Got caught in a hail storm a while ago and I had just passed my test too, was ****tin' myself to say the least but got home eventually, like a drowned rat, all good fun though :D

On saturday Afternoon got caught in 3 seperate hailstorms from Keith to Aviemore and then on the A9 as well, Couldn't see anything on the road as it was fairly chucking it down, not pleasant but didn't make me slow down for some reason!
