Default Evil weather

Here in London we've got the first heavy rain after a dry spell. This always means that diesel and other slippery gunk that has soaked into the road now rises up and floats on the wet surface. Slippy, slidy wet roads are evil. Be careful, everyone.

Yep it's horrible out there. Just had to give the wife a lift to work as the battery was dead on the Sv. She is not impressed with the pillion seat on the Triumph!!! Muttering words along the line of it's like wearing a ***** thong I'll get the bus home!!!! No pleasing some people. Didn't have the heart to tell her, her back was covered in crud off the road

Which Triumph? Mrs Wyrdness won't even get on the back of my Speed Triple.
The North Circular was a river of diesel in some places this morning. And there seemed to be some new potholes around too - a couple of which I hit fairly hard. Fortunately Pilot Powers grip really well in the wet.

Bright sunshine in the west coast of Scotland, t-shirt weather today and yesterday. Could sunbathe if you were into that sort of thing. I'd go out on the bike but alas...I have none (no working one)

I've just twigged why we've got horrible wet weather in London today, after several dry weeks. It's the first day of Wimbledon. Might have known.

Got a 955i Daytona, good job I haven't got a 675, that pillion seat is like a razor blade.
