To be honest, it’s not the cold and wet ON ME that’s my main reason for not wanting to ride in bad weather these days, I’ve got good kit, so when I do venture out in bad conditions I’m fairly well catered for.
What I don’t like is:
1. Slippery roads.
2. Having poor visibility through wet visor and steamed up specs.
3. Sharing the roads with cars with poor visibility with wet, greasy windscreens and misted up internals.
4. Bad driving caused by cars with ABS and traction control. Today’s drivers make NO allowance for poor conditions. They’ve been made ignorant. And f*cking dangerous.
5. Having to dry out kit afterwards.
6. Having to clean the bike afterwards.
7. Having to clean the bike afterwards.
8. Having to clean the bike afterwards.
9. Having to clean the bike afterwards.
And finally...
10. Having to clean the bike afterwards.
Bottom line... it’s just easier to take the car...!
