This guys sounds like a total PUSS.

When I went to Milwaukee from SE Mich to get my HD and Trailer. I started the 8 hour drive at about 6 pm local 7pm home time. by the time I got out of the zoo and parking lot traffic of the hell hole most call Chicago, and started heading north, it was well after dark and prolly like 9 home time. Once the sun was gone on April 16, it was COLD. And being as was a trip on the train out there to get the bike I didn't have all my cold weather gear. So, around 1 am and in the vicinity of Jackson, Mi I finally felt the notion of true cold and the sheer joy of having my first Harley Davidson couldn't keep me warm any longer. I pulled off the highway 50 miles or so early to fill up for gas and spent the next hour and a half warming up and BS'in with the clerk. Once I could feel my fingers and flex my knees without pain I headed back out. Pulled into the driveway around 0155 in the morning and parked MY Harley Davidson Ultra classic in the garage.

So to have to deal with a little wind and some light rain, even on a small underpowered bike, is nothing. Get the sand out of your Vag, and ride the damn thing like you stole it all the way home.

Easy there hotrod. That happens to be my best friend of 20 years there.

62k on my Busa and 50 states later, he has over 25k and 46 states on the VFR. We've definitely seen our fair share of bad weather.

That is but a small tidbit of many rough weather trips we've had. I'm not gonna try to one-up anybody. We've all had our share of bad weather and experienced on the bike. No need to smack talk someone for relaying experiences.

Just the other day I rode in RAIN !!! You pansies and your wind.

Sorry Trace, but I was when he described you as a bobble-head doll

If that's the worst thing he ever says about me, I'm doing just fine. LOL

I remember riding north across all of Kansas while a strong west-east wind blew the entire time. I guess it took us something like 6 hours to cross the state, and by the end of it my head was pounding on the leftside where my helmet had been forced into it all day. I never would've thought about a perpendicular wind having that kind of effect. Then again, I didn't necessarily believe in hydroplaning until it happened either.

Funny how caveman cites one specific story to illustrate how tough he is...makes me wonder if its the only long ride he's been on.

Doesn't that bike have a heated everything and a big ass windscreen?

Try riding the same thing on an EX500 doing 90mph.

Congrads at having a total PUSS as a friend.
