I have dried out but the footwells in the car still resemble small ponds.<br /><br />Charlie6 / Dom – She really is! The seats in the car are leather and the carpet is a soft nylon, so the interior should be fine.<br /><br />Sonja – Jackie didn’t complain once. She may not have been having a great time, but didn’t let it show :)Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-85358837531781417482012-05-09T07:28:49.786+01:002012-05-09T07:28:49.786+01:00Tony – Sunny England it has not been.

It’s really crap because we should be out on our bikes!<br /><br />Canajun – I agree someone deserves a medal – My wife, for putting up with my antics for all these years!<br /><br />BeemerGirl – Playing in the rain is fun when you are seven years old, but not at my age, sitting in a car. I think the bath didn’t do some of the electrics much good, but they seem to have dried out now. Except one part...... investigations into a stuttering coil pack are in progress!<br /><br />Trobairitz – A trooper she was! I agree, what’s the point of getting down, when you can smile and enjoy it a bit more? Doing that journey on two wheels would not have been fun. Riding jacket, yes. Plus waterproof rain gear!<br /><br />Geoff – You are so right about having a tale to tell in years to come. Good for you for buying the spare battery and charging one as you went – there is nearly always a solution to problems!

Had an alternator fail on my Blackbird touring the south island of NZ. Bbought another battery, charging one and swapping them over to let me continue the tour.<br /><br />Looking on the bright side, it's a great tale to re-live in the coming years!!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-84769660047829273972012-04-29T19:08:58.565+01:002012-04-29T19:08:58.565+01:00It is good to have a sense of humor in the face of...It is good to have a sense of humor in the face of adversity. It sounds as though you handled it well and your wife was a trooper for just keeping calm and carrying on.<br /><br />I am glad you two made it back safe. I bet you were glad you were experiencing that weather and charging issues on 4 wheels and not 2.<br /><br />I am picturing you two wrapped in car cover and riding jacket soaked to the bone. Not fun but at least you can look back at it and laugh.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-24271510684145037852012-04-29T17:07:55.283+01:002012-04-29T17:07:55.283+01:00I mean, I enjoy playing in the rain...but that is ...I mean, I enjoy playing in the rain...but that is taking it a bit far. ;) Glad you made it home safely.
