Sheese Cam, that's a bit cruel isn't it? Under Sharia law men are
allowed up to 4 wives. Can you imagine that plus 4 mother-in-laws? Oh
hang on, now I am with you - yes, just punishment indeed!

Look at it this way - go out and ride. Learn in this weather you'll
never be afraid of wet bitumen.

And you'll have a good idea of what wet gear you need to replace Smile

Already done. I figure if I can learn to emergency brake and u-turn in
the wet, the MOST (and the rest of the riding) will be a piece of
cake.
Keep an eye out for a Yellow GS500 with L plates around the Wollongong
area.

Amen to that - I know lots of people who are too scared to ride in rain
because they think it's going to be a whole lot worse than it really is.
They deprive themselves of a lot of riding fun if they see a puff of cloud
on the horizon...

Have fun on your GS500 (lovely bike!!!)

Just stick to suburban streets without bloody great white painted
arrows on the roads. THen branch out to the main roads, learning to
stay away from the arrows when braking. Mind you, they are dangerous
in the dry too....

Tip: get some SnoSeal from a ski shop or camping shop and apply to
your boots. Then polish them well, and keep them polished. That will
keep a lot of water out without the hassle of foot frangers or the
expense of "waterproof" boots. Wet feet are depressing.
