First time in the rain - SV650.org

First time in the full on wet on my SV. Liking the conti roads in the wet, even though the rear is below 1mm of tread atm (getting replaced soon no worries) it is pretty stable.

Was bone dry when I left my house. Headed towards Hungerford/Lambourn along the B4000/B4001 and then it started ****ing down! I tried to run home but I got lost. xD

Taken on a phone as I don't have a digi cam.

I learnt not to park up in puddles - you get your feet wet when you stop (actually Black-rains are the dogs so I don't but you get the point). Take it easy in the wet and it's all good......

And yeah I'm sort of a student working for no money in the hope of a job so it'll have to wait.
