Wet Week for the Honda

Well we started this week off with just over one inch of rain. As you can imagine, with the ground already soaked it's not making it very easy to get about to feed the sheep in the mornings, but the Honda plugs on through the mud and muck. She struggles up some of the hills as is expected when your towing 300kgs of hay on the trailer.

I'm fed up with the mud and muck spraying off the bikes rear tyres onto the hay in the trailer, so I've fashioned up some rather sexy mud flaps out of some old elevater belting, some 1/2 inch steel box and a length of tube bent at a right angle.

So far we have done 1200 km since taking delivery of the bike and it's still running like new. One minor thing is the seat has a defect in it and it's started to crack. Not a split, it's like the skin on the back of your hand at lambing time .
