nman1 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I know, I was bloody mad. I left the house knowing it would rain but I had been in most of saturday and i was going mad not doing anything so out I went. Managed to stay mainly dry and the wind was blowing a hoolie accross the fens where I went. But to be honest, staying dry whilst all around is shite was my way of saying up yours weather, I`m still enjoying myselfe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtotheJ Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 you went out and stayed dry?! I dont think it stopped raining for 5 mins where i was. Fortunately went out for a ride on Saturday so I wasnt too fussed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I went out on both days Last night I went out to test the new heated grips. I stayed bone dry and it was a wonderfully clear and starry night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Mainly dry, I`ve got waterproofs. Found out the boots are not that waterproof though.Still enjoyed the ride or I would have gone mad sitting in my 4 walls. Finished off down a warm dry pub for a few bevvies and a game of cards.

RiffmasterII Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I rode 610 miles on Friday from Aberdeen to Bognor Regis, took me 13 hours and my arse hurts! Weather was good though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 'kin 'ell!!!!!!!!! thats some effort!! How many times did you stop etc. Is your bike a 1000 or a 600, I can't remember! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiffmasterII Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Its the 636.I did the first 200 mlies with only a fuel stop, then hit 50 miles of traffic and road works on the M6 so stopped a few times then to ease the boredom, then stopped around every 100 miles afterwards. I reckon I could have done it a few hours quicker if it wasn't for the M6 and M42 being packed with roads works.MY back side is feeling much better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
