Plenty spring to mind! one's that stand out was travelling from the NW to Brands for WSB about 5-6 years ago, 10 of us down A roads all the way, it was scorching all the way, hottest I think I've ever been on a bike, I had a UJM at the time, one mate on his 916 had to stop as his bike was overheating, anyway imagine 10 guys all sweaty and sticky in their leathers, we eventually hop onto the M1 for the last 40 miles into London when the heavens opened, the rain was so bad our bikes were causing waves across the M1, got interesting when overtaking lorries/coaches as a tidal wave came over me! We got through the rain and pulled up, steam pouring off us, rung my socks out and quickly off again before the rain caught us, took 3 people to peel my leathers off.
Second one was the VD memorial meet last year on the Bostrom, set off to meet up with a few peeps in Macclesfield and go over the Cat & Fiddle, it was overcast when I left and by the time I'd got to Macc it was raining, and by the time I'd got up the C&F the rain was horizontal, wind was fierce to say the least, pulled in at the C&F pub, which wasn't open but used it for cover for 1/2 hour, all I can say is that 208GP's don't do rain
was a very nervous ride down the cat, bike never missed a beat though.
