Wear what ya fucking like Wattie. You'll still look like a tool! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mate, have a gander at the weather report I posted and decide for your self! I am wearing my full two piece zip together leathers and taking my rainsuit. But it's up to you. Weather looks like mid to high 20's for the trip with an occasional bit of rain thursday maybe. :)

I'll be wearing my draggins and rain pants. But if I had leathers, they'd be on - I didn't end up finding any in time.

Think protection first Wattie (especially if you're going to be trying to follow Phil) :)

I always look at it like this Wattie old son

How big a tool would I feel like if I ever binned it with my leathers hanging up in the garage.

Full leathers and the rain suit for me
