| My leather jacket needed cleaning but after going out for a blast in the rain its pretty much done the job for me  Hasnt done very well at cleaning my bike though, might just have to do that myself.... only problem is i have to much fun riding rather than bothering to clean it

| Had an interesting moment in light rain the other morning - I cracked open the throttle at over the ton - while at the exact same moment going over 50 yards of smooth tarmac (laid down in a recent road repair) I briefly lost traction on the rear wheel which sent a shimmy down the length of the bike - when I was back on the regular road surface everything was fine.
Yesterdays weather was strange - Soho last night resembled a scene from Bladerunner - Monsoon rainfall, lots of neon lights, strangely dressed people scurrying about, bikes, cars and rickshaws fighting for space in the narrow streets - Chinese people on Flat screens in shop windows - this may sound mad but if you remember the street scenes in Bladerunner - you'll know what I'm on about - Bladerunner was made in 82 - looks like the future came true! - particularly the prediction of unusually heavy rainfall patterns - the rain was so heavy in town last night - while waiting at the lights on the bike I saw young women screaming while running for shelter from the downpour!

| Saw someone yesterday riding down the road in heavy traffic in the rain on a sports bike, absolutely PIN it on purpose at slow speed, lose traction at the rear, out of the seat nearly over the bars and under my wheels! What a tw*t......

He won't be doing that again in a hurry! If you've been riding mostly in the dry for a few weeks and have been enjoying laying the bike down in bends, pinning the throttle at every available opportunity (e.g. when there is no one in the way etc.) - it can usually take a moment like this to recalibrate your riding style. I've definitely toned things down a bit now things are getting wetter.

| That must've looked great, Sid. I can picture it exactly! 
If the Goodyear blimp had been flying overhead, all lit up, it would've been perfect....
