Got it wet, again. The forecast for the week looks crap.
The bike is going in tomorrow for a service and to complete the installation of the various parts you get with the bike including the top box, 12v socket, heated grips and fog lights.

That's probably going to be useful,, this summer.

Sadly I fear you're right. I've still got the warm lining in my trousers.

I was told I was getting a KTM 690 to play with
Then they wheeled out another Versys. <disappointed face/>

I might ask for a demo ride anyway, seeing as I didn't get a go today.

It's worth it just for giggles. It's like a BMX with an engine

That's the same thing people say about the Street Triple.

Had a call from the dealer asking if they can keep the bike for a bit longer. They could get it ready by 6pm if I need it, but I don't and I'm happy for them to do the work at their own pace, rather than rushing to finish it. I've got a demo bike so it's not a problem.
I'll collect it tomorrow after work.

Yesterday had a play at Castle Combe. A little wet and greasy in the way up until I got to Castle Combe and realised the track was soaking wet!! Luckily it dried out for the morning and during lunch it started peeing it down do I went out to try the track out in the rain with standing water and did most of the session but I came in a little earlier and realised that was the time to go. Had 3-4 sessions out which was great so I left with a smile on my face that's all I asked for! Job done!!

So long as you enjoy it the weather doesn't really matter
But it would be nice if the rain could wait until I'm at work.

I don't think the weather knows it's the middle of May.

It's a bit weird riding with a large top box, each time I looked in my mirrors I thought I was being followed
I need to get a new cover. The one I bought a few weeks ago isn't big enough for the bike now it's got the rear box plate

At least it was dry this morning, which makes a change.
The spotlights make a difference, cars are spotting me much sooner now.

I got drenched on the way home.
I took the linings out of my trousers. I thought they were just the winter linings. I was wrong. It's the waterproofing as well. Ooopss.

I would have been warmer if that was the case.
