    Well I spent a good couple of hours in the kitchen last night washing the bike, (kitchen sink is soo much better than using a bucket :D), in preparation for the ride over to the parents for Xmas lunch.
    Parking a van outside their place today will be impossible as all the neighbours have the relatives rock up too, plus also if I move my van from outside my house, I wont get parked again.
    So as the forecast was for dry and bright like yesterday....wash the bike and have a nice meandering ride over :D:D

    Oh but NO !!! it's bloody raining....Met office...your forecasting is rubbish...wouldn't have washed the bike if it I'd known it was going to rain...:mad:

    My poor wrinkled fingers....:eek::eek::eek:

    Your right about the weather dude .I lost two days wages Monday and Tuesday because I had a wall to repair and it forecast the worse rain ever which didn't happen .

    So much for accurate forecasting by all the new tech they spout about.
    At least the rain stopped but wet greasy roads are not the best things on a Xmas day jaunt out, though it'll do me good to build some wet confidence in the PR4's, keep riding like I've still got the Supacorsa's on and going very carefully round shiny corners..

    The Met office has just spent £millions on a new more accurate system , but all they seem to do is show you what happened with the weather earlier in the day - your best bet is to open the curtains in the morning and decide for yourself based on what you see.
