Riding in the wet

[tommyardin]

[size=1em]Like has been said in the post that riding in winter is not good, but like a lot of bikers in here I have done it as it was my only form of transport from age 17 up until 46. [/size]
[size=1em]I have had to ride in all weathers and getting to the building site soaked through before the days work has started, fingers so cold that its hard to uncurl them from the bars, and with the snotty water that is streaming from you nose and eyes freezing on your face, scarf full of frozen shot and breath, bloody open face space helmets [/size]
[size=1em](The full face made it a bit better when they came along)[/size]

[size=1em]I remember my old BSA Rocket it had a small split in the stitching on the seat and water used to get into the foam and when you sat on it the water squeezed out and made your arse wet even before starting out on the foccing thing, and it was no better when the weather was freezing either it was like sitting on a plank of wood that eventually made your arse wet as it slowly melted and squeezed out of the split.

[size=1em]Oh! the good old days.[/size]
[size=1em]Good old days my arse[/size]
[size=1em]Good old days my wet arse. [/size] :rolleyes :'(
