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.

not so good . i go from peterhead to aberdeen every day for work , came home on friday and the winds were real strong , didnt know how much the bike blew across road or tryed to when wind caught me , only passing my test two weeks ago made me real nervous , so slowed right down and never went over 40 , took longer but felt a lot more better , hope i will find out how to handel these winds , and rain as dont want togo back to the car after spending all this money on doing my bike test ,

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

yea not so good , they dont teach you what todo i strong winds , when your learning , even thow i was out a few times in the bad weather haveing lessons thow , it would be go if they did tell you how to ride in strong winds and heavey rain , specialy when thats what we get up here most of the time , as it is sxxit scarey , specialy when your almost blown to other side of the road , but if they had to they proberly tell you not to take your bike out , but hay were almost into the summer and be great to get out there in the sun , so lets keep fingers crossed , its not to far away
take care

nope you missed it, remember the sunny day last week.........that was our summer..

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!

Done that yesterday went on a wee run up to glenshee and back got to glenshee and got caught in a hailstorm turned around out the cloud and the sun was out again. Very strange weather at the moment lol.
