    err, see other post. If it's absolutely bone dry and sunny, I *might*
    consider it, but I'll be hilariously fucking slow.

    *And* it's all based on my getting my arse around to buying, fitting
    and charging a new battery tomorrow, *and* clearing all the empty wine
    bottles out of the garage so I can actually get near the 'blade.

    As I think Champ testified, if you have them warm they work just fine on any
    but the deepest water and most extreme lean angles.
    Ah

  4. Not too bothered about the cold [1] now I have fully road tested my new
    cheapo jacket.
    [1] Well, not freezing, obviously.

    I'm not bothered by it - I just don't enjoy it as much as when it's warmer.

    I find riding the GSXR in full winter kit vs riding it in leathers has a
    huge impact in how much fun it is.

    You mean from a flexibility and movement POV? My short Dainese goretex
    jacket and Columbia Titanium Sallies are quite pleasant to ride with.

    Kind of - it's primarily the gloves actually.

    HG's finest goretex summer gloves and heated grips. YKIMS.
    or
    Dainese Assuan gloves http://www.phmotorcycles.co.uk/dainese_fra.html which
    are very warm & totally dry but not at all bulky on the palm/fingers

    My excuses are many and varied, but that one is included. I'd love to
    be free to go mind, as I've not had a blast in a group for what feels
    like a long time.

    I'd be feeling very uncomfortable riding in _any_ Dainese kit.
