You Can, I had giggle on my bike today...although I realized the two hours I spent washing and polishing etc yesterday was a waste of time..
Good kit and tyres make all the difference ( PR4`s next on my shopping list I think)
If British people stopped doing stuff everytime it rained, nowt would get done!..

Yes , I agree , you can go out , I have the right kit .....
But being born in Africa .... It just does not work in my head ...
I look at the guys out on their bikes , and admire their tenacity ...
It takes guts to get all togged up , go out and bull sh#t yourself you are having fun .....

I've had days out in th rain when I just wanted to get home get warm and dry. But some of them were also the most memorable rides I've ever had. Took almost an entire day to do winchester to hastings due to biblical rain storms,still in my top 10 favourite days riding ever.

Just my view on modern Motorcycles and how I feel about them, I'm sure many of you will have your own view but would be interesting to know what you all think

I still have to shake my head ....
Can't make up my mind if you guys are real hard core ....
Or a bit touched , actually wanting to go out in the awful weather .
I agree, getting wet to go home is acceptable .
But actually enjoying riding in the p##sing rain does not rate too high in my enjoyment scale !
But at the end of the day , I salute you for what you believe in .

Well I went out today through sheer frustration and boredom.
Blowing a gale and heavy drizzle, took longer to clean the bike than the two hours I spent riding it .

I am a fair weather biker these days. I will avoid the rain if I can, the exceptions being RoSPA rides and my annual trip away. Had a lovely summer week in Wales this year when at times it was raining so hard I could barely see the dash, let alone the road ahead.
