NOPE.....bring it on :y ;D ;D ;D
Only bad thing will be when the water companies bleat they are short of water and will have to restrict it! Thety should try fixing the thousands of leaks that go months after being reported before they are even looked at. Then there is the other long wait until someone actually comes out to do something about it and another hole is made......... to knacker our suspensions:-[

I've only done one bike trip so far weeks road trip to the Isle of Man, wanted to do more, but other events in my life prevented the number of trips I had planned.

Taking it out next week as it needs a trip to BMW Dealer, I might see if I can try the new 1600 GT which has an inline 6 engine. Bit of a torque monster that!  :o

I've riden in wet, while its not as fun as dry, its still fine. Got caught in a massive downpour at one point, still Gortex D-Dry Dainese stuff did job, stayed dry. When weather cleared open the taps, wind quickly drys everything  :)

A few hundred this year  :-[

Not as bad as 2 or 3 years ago, I took it back for MOT with only 2 miles on it since previous MOT  :-[. And they failed it on tyre tread depth  :-[
