bike problem ?
« on: 13 October 2016, 07:01:09 pm »
Every time I decide to go out on my bike lately, I put my lid on but then, wet stuff starts falling out of the sky and it seems to be getting colder all the time.
Is this a common problem or have I bought a lemon ? :)

If it's still in warranty bring it back and tell them to sort it

I'm actually having the same problem was but too embarrassed to ask.chough it was a bit of a noob question. I've  tried curing the problem with cordura pants, a snood and coffee.
The pants and snood have seemed to minimise the problem a bit. The coffee seems to do fuck all. Plus I'm now struggling to engage my clutch or pull the throttle depending on which hand I hold it in.
Hopefully someone has experienced this scenario before and can offer some advice
my momma always says, stupid is as stupid does.
that's all i gotta say about that

You do know that if you have recovery service you can always call them if this happens when you are already out. You might have to be at least a quarter mile from home though.
