    Now imagine that on a bike with twice the BHP. My throttle action is softer than a butterfly's wing thanks to this rain.

    Ah, I'm guessing you're restricted then. Bet you'll be glad to get that off and unleash the other 50 horses. Really anything over 100bhp is unnecessary.
    I hate riding in the wet. White lines, overbanding, person hole covers (i'm very pc) oil and diesel make it a bloody nightmare.

    While we're moaning, you should've seen the roads in the I.O.M. If you think ours are bad theirs are an f'ing joke!
    Next year I'm heading back to Italy via the Jura mountains. Sun, great food and perfect roads!

    Indeed - i had a meeting in Guildford yesterday (my office is in Radstock) The ride there was nice but the ride home was very wet all the way back, A31,A331,M3,A303,A36.... i wanted the most direct route back home to Trow. i was wearing a driviz suit fortunately but the inside of my helmet was sopping, both sets of gloves were sopping, my toes were wrinkled and the cuffs on my coat under the suit were sopping also. > Not fun. Still better than being in a car stuck in all the traffic! 8-)

    yep A2 at mo but bike is it full capacity and i'll need a bike upgrade to up the power!

    i don't mind riding in the wet i just hate the w0nkers that seem to like swerving to avoid the puddles or coming closer to soak you that little bit more.

    Holland would be a good place for a bike, their roads are so flat their speed bumps are dips ;D

    If you're after an upgrade I'm toying with selling mine.
    Did I mention it's lovely to ride in the wet, really comfortable, gives great mpg, it's whisper quiet and has very sensible and usable power. It's also a very tasteful and inconspicuous colour. :
