So they wern't shitting me when they said Dukes are for sunny weather Only :lol:

Scottoiler spray or HCF-50 will sort that out, would get some PDQ to stop the bike disolving in the garage.

Frank must have been up above watching you when he let the heavens open :) (Revenge for the pink mugs? lol)

Hopefully weather will improve in the near future.

Good effort, I bet it wasnt nice riding in that,

But I'm sure everyone would understand why you turned round and didnt risk another accident.

Fair play your Ducati got that far :wink: :lol:

After the ride I went up past Exeter, in the car.

There was quite a bit of snow on the ground up by the race course. I'm sure you did the right thing by turning back.

That is grim - top marks for even attempting it.

get the autosol out and those pipes will be gleaming like new!

It took me three hours to clean my bike after the ride on Sunday.
