So did a very bizarre Rock and Roll thing today, recent owner (2/8/14) 2007 650DLX so bear with me as I can't contain my enthusiasm!
From a perfectly warm, dry start at home I decided to nip into town in the lashing rain, the long way and get the Royal Blood album.(am I acting normal). Mrs V-Strom looked out of the window and raised her sculptured brows at me
I have been a sportsbike owner for past years and havent ridden in the rain for a long, long time.
I found out a lot of things, the bike is planted and perfectly at ease in the rain,the riding position commanding in a sort of don't F@?k with me way, but the ride did (which is another reason I went out) highlight which parts of my kit need addressing if I am to do this sort of lune thing more often. definitely need a pinlock insert (had before), and my boots needed a lot to be desired. Any tips for 100% waterproof boots without spending Altberg or Daytona sort of money? my HG goretex kit was also as expected up to the job, but could do with a wash in NicWax to refresh the waterproofing a bit, which is the advice for goretex I understand.
Funny thing is, I only saw one other bike out today.............will leave you to guess what it was..another V-Strommer of course!
is this infectious? as I feel rejeuvenated all of a sudden
