I got in all safe and soynd. Bloody horrible but my riding gear was perfect.  It's only a 25 minute ride but so gusty on the motorway. I'm in my truck now so warm and toasty

Looks reasonable for the moment, but I'm trekking up to Norfolk today with work (a week of flight testing). Hope it stays OK!

Wear a raincoat over your jacket. I've also got £3 builders over trousers to go over my leathers, 1 size bigger than me. Cheap but cheerful, works for me! ;)
