That riding in the rain stuff is an acquired taste and a very unforgiving error of judgement. Convinced Mrs. Skip to do our first road trip back in August. Out of the 7 days away, we had 2 fine days of riding. Most weren't too bad. However, on our last day from Port Macquarie to Brissy it was torrential. A couple of hours from home, I asked if she'd like a break. She said "If you stop and I get off, I won't be getting back on". Needless to say I didn't stop until I rode into the garage. Thought August would have been a good time to ride. Cool and fine. Dooh. Never mind. I still have both. The missus and the bike, so all must be forgiven.
