Ouch

That rain *stung* today. Not helped by wearing only flimsy waterproofs
over jeans.

I took the Tuono out because I felt that I needed to get a feel for
riding it in the wet - I've got a sort of instructed trackday booked
for the end of the month at a track I didn't really get on with the
only time I've ridden there: Cadwell..

I'm happy to report that it feels pretty good: steering feels a bit
heavier than I'd like: I hate having to lean on the bars in the wet,
it just feels *wrong*. That's prolly just me being fussy.

 

I love Cadwell. Done quite a lot there - Yamaha race school, sidecar
racing, trackdays. But it is a bit nadgery. And it does have it's
own micro climate. Did one trackday there one October in the teeming
rain, all day. Quite a few sessions were cancelled because of muddy
water cascading across the track from the banks, gave up 4pm is only
for there to be brilliant sunshine once we were 5 miles away! Grrr.
