Nice to see you, on your new bike! Very smart machine you've got, I like it 8) . Did you join those guys/girls at ProRider? I was going to but like Brian said think I'll be better riding in smaller groups at first, less people to knock over then :lol:

Take care,


Andrew

Hi guys, went out on mine on Sun for my first proper ride since getting it. Went over to Bridge in Exeter via Dawlish and think I had my own personel raincloud! Was chasing that bit of blue but got soaked- twice, so gave up went home and washed it. Nice ride though. Role on summer. :D 8)
Cheers, Steve

Well, made the mistake of taking the bike to work tonight. On the journey home, I can count 4 times where I should've died :roll: . Coming down the M5 southbound, over the bridge after Exeter, Overtaking in the outside lane and HELLO MR WIND who took me all the way across almost into the Hard Shoulder. :shock: :o :roll:

Lesson learned, am not going to underestimate the weather anymore. :?

Take care,


Andrew

I cleaned it the next day...
...looks like i wasted my time though because i commuted in the p'ing rain afterwards. :roll:
perhaps i should get a dt125.
Oh & just to make y'all feel better; i jinxed my gloves by bragging that sunday about how warm & dry my hands were (I'm alright Jack!), because some of the stitching pulled away :( HELD freezer 07.
