    Ok with Anglesey coming up in 3 weeks i was thinking it's not going to stop me going on track if wet but how to keep myself dry?

    best suggestions other than a normal waterproof jacket?

    I'm selling a set of good as new wets if you're interested? Will do you for the year no bother, depending how much you do, next year too. Saves a wet day from being ruined. Knees down in heavy heavy rain no problems...

    They'll be going up for sale but haven't done it yet. K1 front K2 rear, Metzeler Racetec rains, 120/190, ridden by me for 15 laps of Mallory but I'm racing on Bridgestones this year.

    Can send next day for 200 quid. Cost me 285 less than a month ago from complog.

    I cant vouch for those tyres in particular but having ridden with wets on wheels today for the 1st time i can say that they sure do work and as said knee down wasn't a problem.

    Just look at Superstock 600 and 1000 on BSB, they're the same control tyre, in the same compounds :)

    if it rains just accept you'll get wet.,at least theres garages at angelsea now though,but as bongo says riding in the wet can be awesome,just need to be a smooth and relaxed.
