That is all.

I blame the Government!

I am annoyed that a few scratches have appeared on my bike since I got it!

I know how you feel. I not only rode through puddles today, I also had to ride through actual rain (for the first time ever!)

Lol I don't actually mind riding in rain, but I've been going all kwak on my bike since I got it so now I've got to clean the damn thing! And I dread to think how much I'm going to have to clean to get rid of all the crap the big waves of water put all over my bike in all the nooks and crannies, etc

Hehe, pansies! Starts to get fun again once it gets to monsoon levels, you're already completely wet and it's a complete lottery if you can keep rubber side down

Worst I got was having to slow to 10mph on a motorway because waves were getting up over my boots. Was sunny when I left as well so I had leathers on...ended up with dye running into everything I had underneath. And I had my PS2 in the tankbag as well. Won't play DVDs anymore

if you keep your bike in a good clean condition, when they get a soaking they come up clean again in no time it always pi$$es me off when i get caught in bad weather but a few hours later she's back to normal.
