In over 40 years of biking it was the heaviest rain I've ever ridden in, the bike was spotless when I set off!





Fair play to Rukka gear and Daytona boots though as when I stripped off the only failure was a tiny damp patch on each sock where the boots had slightly let by. I had to remove my glasses on the ride home as the constant misting up of them combined with the torrential rain on my visor and dusk descending meant I was better off seeing relatively clearly but out of focus than seeing nothing at all. The joys of biking.
Just dropped off the Fireblade for it’s MOT, wearing jeans. 5% chance of rain. As soon as I left my garage it started raining! Only spitting but I guess the god of misery is a bit busy to give it his full attention currently.
