I travel from Heywood to Meltham every day using either the A640 or the the A62 over Stanedge. Lovely when the weather is nice! However, to get back on topic it rains there alot :( This is the wetest drought ever :!:

Been over there many times, works in Hudds now. I've only ever seen one more 1150 on the road and that was on the ringroad in town the day I took mine for its first MOT. A red one with system cases on, yours maybe?

I used a one piece rainsuit like the one pictured for years and you definitely need a couple of sizes larger than you normally get. I've also done the keys in my inside pocket trick a few more times than I'd like to have. Had to go to 2 piece textiles after an enduro accident left me with a permanently separated left shoulder, couldn't do the necessary gyrations to get the last bit over the shoulder any more!
