    A little rain never hurt anyone, it only separates the real bikers from the fair weather ones :D :D

    Welcome to the forum though, and get some pictures up once you get the new bike, what colour did you go for in the end?

    Should of known since you did say 675r, missed the r part. Hopefully its got plenty of extras already in place, and of course we get some decent weather to ride in, bit crappy at the moment.

    Sounds about right, I still have to ride mine to see the girlfriend, but I've got a lovely bone dry suit to keep out the rain, works a treat actually, along with the heated grips.

    I went for the oxford bone dry suit

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/39033202 ... 0&ff14=101

    I'm 5'8 and found the medium a bit too tight over my gear, gore-tex top and bottoms with all the armour in place so went up to large, just makes it easier to get on and off. I did go for the oxford bone dry over boots but had one strap already brake and general wear and tear after a month of using them, not the best. So have just ordered these

    http://www.getgeared.co.uk/PROOF_Solid_ ... tegory=346

    So should get them tomorrow and will let you know what they're like.
