"Not ridden in the Rain", is a wankers way of saying that their bike has *never* been exposed to the elements, is only ridden on bright sunny days with a humidity of no less than 1015 millibars, has not been thrashed etc etc etc. "Perfect condition.......no marks no scratches because it has not been ridden in the rain :roll: FFS .....

It really is the signature of a pussy-whipped nutless tosspot who hasn't got the balls to ride on a wet road..........

It actually means nothing in terms of engine wear etc,.

Happy to help.

also could mean a straight line wanker who's munged the gearbox by going up the gears while up on one ;)

do people actually enjoy riding in the rain?
Yeap I used to pull Kermit out when it started to rain :shock: ....I loved it :wink:
heh, i didnt mind it, but as i got bikes with more grunt, i was a bit more wary of it as wheelspin started to become a factor more & more. Now i avoid it mostly, but unless i'm reduced to sub 10m visibility im not that phased.

Oh and the fact my dryrider jacket is a plain lie is also a factor, that fugger couldnt keep you dry from a baby frothing milk.

Glad you are selling that 12 mate, you are a big poof and are giving us a bad name :twisted: If "value your life" is the best excuse you can find for being a nancy I take it you mean you have no skills to keep your powerhouse in line or do you just not turn the throttle except in a straight line normally :lol: :lol:

I thought didnt ride in the rain meant "I am insured by Shannons" :lol: :lol:

I haven't ridden in the rain yet but I thought it was going to rain this morning and that didn't stop me taking the bike instead of the car - the bike's more fun, and quicker and I've even become convinced that the riding posture is better for the lower back than sitting in a car seat :-)

Yeah a tad different for though, my first rain ride was the night I got Kermit and I HAD to ride so my first ride on the road was at night and in the rain on a 250 :wink:
