Just staggered out of bed, having finished yesterday (ho fking ho) at 3:50am - pissing down with rain outside. Don't have any waterproof trousers so torn between saying 'sod it' and riding the short distance and getting damp (and potentially getting utterly soaked, depending on how good this bike is at pouring water all over my trousers from the fairing), or continuing the fking misery and walking in the rain. Work is frustrating me, not getting any sleep, and to top it all some stole £4650 off one of my credit cards on Tuesday so I'm looking at potential identity theft. fking annoying. Where are you all where it's all dry or sunny? FFS

Cold wet and miserable over here in the east. Soggy ride in on the GSXR and by the looks of things it will be a soggy ride back too.

Ho-Hum.

Mitzy, where abouts are you two? I live on the end of the coast near Gibraltar.

Bit of spray this morning, not too bad. May have to go back to winter gear if it doesn't warm up again!

What is all this rain? I thought it was summer! At least I don't have to water the garden.

I'm glad I put my lining back in my jacket last night, it was freezing this morning, and looks like rain on the way home too.

Quite. However after that little rant I looked outside at the drizzle, thought it appeared to be stopping, so mopped the rain off my bike with a handy tea towel and rode it to the station anyway smile And on sopping wet, cold roads, those Road Winner tyres are useless - I know it's my sleep-deprived 'technique' and not the bike's fault, but nearly locked the rear changing down a gear when rolling into the car park - hell, this is a 250, I'd understand it on Stoner's Ducati but not my baby Ninja hehe Another stupidly late one at work but thankfully the bike was still there when I got back, just finished working now, 2 am again, this is bloody ridiculous frown

Absolutely shattered. They tried to deliver my tyres today too but need a signature frown I'm not going to be at home during the day for a couple of weeks, argh.
