When will this rain Stop ? So much for the old saying, " QLD, Beautiful oneday, Perfect the next ". It is just miserable. Lucky I'm still waiting on the new Renthals to arrive. Nearly a week now. Just checked the weather site and more rain forecast right through to the week end. Oh well. Hope some of you guys are getting some nice dry riding weather where ever you are.

Always mate. The 1200 is very easy to ride in the rain compared to my old BMW.Way more stable.

lol, looking out the back window this arvo and I happen to sigh just as my wife is walking past...

Wide says, "I know right, poor chickens. All wet in the rain".

I just went yea, poor things.....

The thing is, I was actually looking at my bike and sighing at the fact that i would be getting on it today, or tomorrow or probably for the rest of the week :-(

But don't tell her that!

it was tipping it down 5 mins before i left the office tonight, but lucked out riding home & had a dry trip. i'm not a fan of the zx6r in the wet, but it's a great commuter in the dry.
if it's wet in the morning then the bandit will be heading out for sure.

i do need to make another visit to Adelaide for work, but I'm not that keen on 38 degree temps either What a Face

Well it's early wed' morning and I dont think it has stopped raining in the past 36 hours. ( and we're talkin' Heavy). Might have to get one of those 4X4 snorkle thingys, FOR THE BIKE ! And what do we see on the news ? Dick Heads trying to drive through flooded roads having to be rescued . WoW!. Just checked the Met' web site and the radar is just a huge mass of rain cloud. Dont look good. Crying or Very sad I personally blame ANNA for all this. Twisted Evil

The thing that shits me is, it is safe to drive on flooded roads.

If you know how to do it safely and you have a suitable vehicle....

I have crossed many a flooded road while driving from brisbane to cairns to brisbane in the wet season (this time of year) and have never had a problem. But we do it the smart way....
