Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / April 2008Bleedin' weather does indeed look crap for France
Bloody great clouds hanging over precisely where we're going, on Friday. Some things never change. Just for once, I'd like a French Run in the sunshine, on dry roads. Oh well: that means it'll be the BMW and not the Ducati this time. At least that gives me more space for wine and cheese on the run home.

Good, wannit? I don't think I've got that wet since the last TOG Tour, but last night I only went from Windsor to Bracknell. My HG jacket is waterproof, my AS gloves less so and the boots were good except where the water dripped down into the top. And I certainly won't mention a moist crotch...
