Learner Rider

More squalls of rain came through today, as they did over the weekend during practically every moment I had the time to look outside at my lonely bike under its cover on the street. I’m absolutely itching to get out for another decent ride, or even just a few turns around an empty carpark to swot up on u-turns for the Motorcycle Operator Skill Test.

As yet, though, not being a commuter I have no desire to buy up some rain protection gear and burn around on the slippery roads just for some wheel-time. So I just watch the radar screens of the Bureau of Meteorology (tha BOM!), watching for a good gap in the rain and some wind to dry the roads in time for a spare moment.

So far, not the greatest summer for riding, but there’ll be plenty of others in the not-too-distant future to enjoy the skills I build up this summer…… when it’s dry, that is.

It’s been 5 days and I’m starving for a fresh bite of the bike!

oh, well, instead I can try and virtually placate my hunger by surfing the web on how to enjoy motorcycling in the rain.
