Rain, 46F, and nuthin but green lights...

[Omega Man]

The weather turned ugly today after work. I wanted to stop by my buddy's place on the way home despite a light rain. On the way I realized I could stop and get some seafoam and gas on the way. By the time I got the foam and dumped half a can in, the rain was gettin heavier. Half way to the gas station the rain was really coming down. Why I thought I didn't need to take my weather suit and full helmet I'll never know.

After waiting for the worst of the rain to fall at my friends I headed home. Rain in the desert floods curbs and intersections here, and it was only 46F. I was kickin both legs as high as the handle bars to avoid getting my feet wet...wetter? whatever. I was havin a ball, riding through flooded intersections, Aerosmith's "Love in an elevator" cranked on the stereo, and catching green lights all the way home.

It was glorious. :yahoo:

~O~

Wet on the bike trumps cold and at work anytime!

yesterday the blower went out so we had no heat at work and today the garage door is stuck open, Wet on the bike trumps cold and at work anytime!

We have had some pretty heavy rain here also, bike is in the garage and I'm in the pickup. My hat is off to you, but I like to stay dry.

I don't ride in the rain unless I just happen to get caught in it as you did. Sounds like you had a ball on the way home. :smilie_happy: arty:

Everyone keep an eye out on youtube for a video of this. I'm sure someone caught on their phone camera. :yahoo: oh2: k:

I got my first ride of the year(and in several months) today...in heavy fog/high humidity. It was 60deg, so I said to meself, "Meself, yer gonna ride da Wing today". Yeah, I got a little wet, but not too bad. I also don't normally ride when it's raining, but I've sure been caught out in it more than once.
I can just imagine seeing O-man ridin down the street with his feets up around his hands, trying to keep from gettin splashed... :smilie_happy:
