Nothing counts until you've ridden the bike through the winter with salted roads!!!

I'm honestly not taking the piss, it's just reality, his bike, lovely as it is, just doesn't suffer the abuse that an all weather bike does, and it makes a massive difference.

I totally agree about riding in crap weather and everything I say about rust or wear and tear always has to have the no rain caveat and to that end I do quite often add an extra note like in my earlier post about the last time I cleaned out the cover I said it was 3 years but also added that was 3k miles for me. I also have added the text line to my signature -no rain.
What is interesting though is that I still have cracked inlet rubbers and a rusting exhaust, centre stand and side stand.
I only ride for fun but it aint fun in the wet.
And the day darrsi stops taking the piss is the day that I leave this forum---- crack on mate
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
