Power rangers.
 Why is it, the commuting has been easy and quick, if a little cold and wet for the past 6 months, the weathers been fair today and there's loads of sportsbikes around leeds filtering at 1mph. Get out of the f###in way! Is there something about wearing one piece leathers to go to work in that precludes you from making progress? RSVmille/R6/any other completely unsuitable missile too superior to move over for a lowly SV? #steps down from soapbox..#

Re: Power rangers.
You just knocked me off that soapbox Chris. I have been thinking the exact same thing!
I'm not a subtle as some and have no worries about making my presence known. Having a large horn is a real bonus some days!

Re: Power rangers.
Would have though flashing lights would have same affect as would the hundred and silly decibel exhaust! Especially as my light is HID

Re: Power rangers.
Today was the second day this year I've dragged out my 2 piece leathers to commute in. Does seem like the weekend warriors also chose today to start appearing. I just look at it as a sign that summer is coming

Re: Power rangers.
I cant really be bothered to leather up when commuting as it takes time to de-uniform and kit up. Rather just pull textiles over the top and get home asap.

Re: Power rangers.
Don't think its just commuting either - I came across a couple when I was taking a scenic route home from work earlier who seemed to be allergic to progress (right up the rear of the car in front at 40 in a national)

Re: Power rangers.
its nice to be able to get out in my Draggin Jeans again, those textile trooosers are nice but the armour gets annoying, must admit, some of these power ranger types are a bit rude..they don't like nodding much...
