Just got home from Sydney, terrible place, and for the last 160km it just pissed down.
I don't think there's a dry spot on me, gloves feel like a wet sponge boots are buckets, I'm gonna get me car licence and buy a bloody car.
Oh and I went there to see a wanka for all of 10 minutes in his nice office overlooking hyde, fkers.
Weather bastid says its gunna be wet this week..
Only thing worse than being up for 5am work starts, is 5am work starts and being soaked....

When I was 17 I did 5am starts, on my lil 250 riding to work in the rain, and if it wasn't raining it was icy , an hour of that to get to work I really don't miss it.

I only got my P's for a car in January after having my bike licence for 16 years. Primarily so i could drive home from the hospital after we had our second kid.
With wet weather gear so much better than it used to be, i'd still rather be on a bike in the rain than in a car. But i do agree that cold and wet sucks arse.

I used to like riding the dr650 in the rain was easy to slide it out, but it was considerably lighter than the 14.
But yesterday I got caught wearing mesh pants didn't have the overs with me, had all the vents on the jacket open, and my boots aren't waterproof and I haven't bought a pair of waterproof gloves since my last 4 pairs of dri riders that really weren't waterprrof at all (over 7 years ago), plus most waterproof gloves are a bit too bulky.
And I had the fkin gauges blinking empty at me and I couldn't find a servo, I really hate Sydney.

Doing it with shit tyres is fun, passing a B double a year back open the old girl up beside the rear tralor (pissing down cats n dogs in a shit storm of foam/spray/shit off the truck) wondered why the revs went up quick but no go faster , took about 2 sec to twig I'd lit the back end up big time at $1.30 beside a big fucking truck that prob couldnt see me anyhow lol wasnt game to shut down so just kept on and she slowly picked up some bite , went right to bike shop for a fresh tyre and home for some jocks lol
