I've used the bike all this week to go to and from londonI've been p***ed on almost
every day.
But today it was rain that hurts and a real heavy downpour the crotch of my
waterproofs are no longer waterproof!!
Can any one recomend a dry over suit?
(Must fold up small)

I have a Spada over suit, which on the times i have used (usually over me leathers) has always kept me dry. I think i paid £45 for them. Let me know what you look at, and i will see if i can get here cheaper and bring to the weekender (if your going) I might get them a little cheaper with no VAT and 'knowing' a couple of geezers.

Let me know

Maybe they don't go out when it is raining? or maybe they speak with the silver tongue of white man white lies?

Heine Gerick do some half decent rain suits - mine was only £25 and seems to work ok.

Failing that, next time you're in Pompey, swing by the dockyard as I hear they have some old sails going spare...:D

I'll second that Pedro - my HG suit did a good job several times last year - most noticably at the UKMOC w/ender with 3 out of 4 days wet - and 2 of those blinking wet.

On its 4th season & still keeping torrents out (whoever he is! :lol: )
