    well i promised it It would never see a wet road ......:P well so much for that .

     

    I couldnt handle looking at it sitting in the garage so I rugged up and went for a blast .

    After a while I couldnt handle seeing it get dirty so I took it home and washed it :)

     

    I gotta say Im impressed with the way it rides in the wet

     

    kneez in the breeze :)

    rode it went for a cruise to duffies look out /cardinia resevoir and took a short cut :) through some nice roads on the way back .

     

     

    got home

     

    washed it again

     

    Gonna be busy for a couple of weeks so I gotta squeeze in the rides where i can .

    The more I ride it the more I wanna ride it :)

    Every time I start the run back home It gets harder and harder to put it away .

    Yeah took mine out for a spin today as well, Had to go clean some windows at work for the extra pocket money, Got caught it the rain coming home and had to take it real easy with the NEW night dragons on and still wearing their wax coating but still felt real good, felt a lot more road contactc than the old michillin comanders, They were like ice skates on a mildly damp road.
    Ride hard and be happy:

     I ride mine to work everyday, inlcuding wet days unless its raining heavy at time.  Heavy rain at night is shit as you can't see tjhe potholes too well.

    First properly cold morning of the year here.

    went out for a cruise today ,did a trip up through cranbourne then cut up manks road ,turned left at the kooeerup pakenham road then back up the princess, 100 odd k's ,good for a quick blast .

    watch out for the little country cross roads and cow shit on the road if you ride down manks .I meant to take belatto road but I missed it :P

    Thanks mate.

    I know the guys down a Wackers are pretty damn good, I just hate the ride down there in the traffic. 

     

    Takes twice as long as getting up the range to Boyd's and there are too many idiots on the motorway who don't look before changing lanes.  (Speaking from experience).

    i wondered why people buy such a great bike and are only dry day riders . had mine with the pipes under water in the nq floods last year . so you have to clean it . christ just picked up my new fatbob and the next day it pissed down rain, so it got wet . it won't shrink i promise you . ny sporty hasn't yet !
