Well, as a newbie with a day off, check forecast: " 0% chance of precipitation". So off I went, visited the old training school, rode round a bit, then; SPLOSH. It hammerd down for about an hour, poor visibility, fogging visor (it says anti fog), and generally a soggy morning. Oh well, it's all experience, but I always thought rain WAS precipitation! Silly me. Niv, CB500S, ( and Marin Attack Trail, Chas Roberts Racer, Winter Hack) Remove **SPAM_OFF** to reply
