    Camped last night in all that rain.

    Last night, left the XRV working bee thingy and headed north to Suffolk for the last few hours of my mates (Hedingham Owners Club) sidecar rally. It tipped it down all night, this was my home for the night. Warm and dry when I woke, takes about one minute to pack up, but a git to get in and out of.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Good grief Yen, you're keen mate! No fears gettin me to tent in the weather we have up here just now! Temps just above freezing and quite a bit of hail and sleet with a strong wind.
    Hope it wasn't too cold where you were mate.

    It looks like your bike got washed after all, Yen!

    Thanks again for your help with the valve clearances.

    No washing occurred. It'd take more than a night's downpour to cut through the grease!!
