from Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory (230klms). It poured rain all the way. Although the RT has plenty of protection, it didn't stop me getting soaked to the bone. The thing was I couldn't have cared less. Riding was a blast. Have to ride back next Friday for the 1000klm service. The wait has been hard but I was worth every bit.:ohyea::ohyea: I will post some pics soon.:thumbup:

I couldn't go to fast as the rain was torrential.:sour: Started out very dry behind the screen but even a duck would have got soaked through in what I rode in, HA! Got home and the decals on the bottom of the panniers had washed off.:yikes: The ride home was through a mountain range (Kangaroo Valley) with wash outs on most corners. The RT stuck like S!!h to a blanket. I felt nothing but safe at all times.:2thumbs: Now comes the cleaning part.
