Default I'm about to get very wet

I already got soaked once today, after forgetting the waterproof part of my trousers... And now, i'm in my summer leathers because the winter stuff's soaked, and it's bouncing...

Looked seriously flooded at some of the roundabouts near Omni centre. Thankfully I was dry on the bus!!!

Thankfully i decided to leave the bike this morn due to very thick fog up my way... glad i did or i would have been in the same soggy state when i got in from work
Roads through this way are quite greasy.. not good for 2 wheels!

Yes. Very wet. I was frozen when I got home, so I jumped in a hot shower- and I swear, I came out of it dryer!

And here's me hoping this was a post about large breasted ladies in scantily clad t-shirts

I'm down in the Borders this weekend and decided against taking the bike because the rain was just so heavy. I also had a shed load of stuff to take with me and this was the perfect excuse.

Glad I did, some parts of the A68 on the way down we flooded. Not enough that I counldn't get past, but enough to make life a bit hairy if I was on two wheels.

I got very very wet yesterday. I rode from Heathrow to a place near Wellingborough to collect a pair of boots.
It was worth it though, a brand new pair of Sidi Vertigo in red for £60.
