    Yeah, I had to go out to return the shop bike and pick mine up. Good time to visit the dealer as I was the only customer. Felt sorry for the bloke mopping up the wet I carried in with me.

    The HD waterproof jacket and Gore-Tex boots were both indeed waterproof as were the 20 year old over pants. Only issue was the road carpeted in water ... Nearly over shot from the turning lane as I couldn't stop the bike -- it's a slight decline turn, had the (rear) ABS going, lucky I was riding for the conditions as the stock Dunlops were as useful as a flyscreen umbrella, not that that is a suprise. I'm starting to think of temporarily foregoing the suspension upgrade to pay for some Pirelli ND as the Dunlops are a danger in the wet. I'm happy to trade tyre longevity for some sort of traction.

    Magic to be back on my own ride...

    4 inches of rain and 100km/h wind forcast in Tassie this weekend too, a good time for polishing tools.
