    Ermmm.....Don't know if I should mention this, but forearmed etc. I'm sat nursing my coffee watching the weatherman giving the last rites over anyone who can't swim in the north today...

    Sorry...

    Yes Shrek, we're all very aware that you live in a swamp and the weather is like this there all year round.

    I'm here mate. Been here since quarter to eight. The minilab's fired up, yesterday's printing is all trimmed and stacked and I'm currently scanning an exhibition for the Cuban government no less.

    I rode back from Assen Mon/Tue through the worst conditions I have ever seen on a bike. Race day was excellent though. :)

    I enjoyed the TT Circuit; it was busy but not so much that you couldn't get around. We were guest of Buildbase & had access to the pits/paddock & watched from the main grandstand. I would like to watch the motogp but will never ride accross Holland again; the most boring roads I have ever seen!

    Man up woman!!!

    Seriously though if you are getting wet Ash then invest in some decent kit and it makes riding in the rain all the more enjoyable/bearable, depending on what your views on riding in the rain are.

    Daytona boots and a Rukka Arma S suit does the job for me

    the trouble with the rukka stuff and the other good stuff is you need to get a small mortgage or offer to see your first son to rumplestiltskin to afford it.
    Having said that I ddi get a good pair of Kushitani Gore-tex strides over summer and Ive stayed dry all week so far.
    Just keeping my eyes open for a jacket now!

    PS: you should see the state of my Blade in this mucky stuff...i reckon id be thrown out of the forum tbh!
