    Er, it's Saturday, all the bike shops are open, why not buy yourself a new clear visor, you're going to need one anyway and if the weather conditions are pants you may as well stack as many of the odds on your side as you can...
    Ride steady and get home in one piece, 8-) then get the bucket and sponge out 'cos your bike will be minging!

    Don not envy either of you - it's warm but damp and VERY windy out there, was being blown all over the place on the CG coming home!

    Good luck to the missus, she'll be blown about alot today on a little 125......
