partly cloudy this afternoon .....
So I rode the ZR1100 to work ( 40 mpg beats the 15 mpg of the suburban ) . After lunch the wind picked up and I thought "ut oh"
Sure enough the rain that they were calling for tonight arrived about 3pm. I literally had a nice ride home in the rain. Pant legs got wet but other than that, a very enjoyable ride. We've had enough rain earlier that the roads were clean of oil and other slippery debris. Jeff windshield made a big difference in the wet. |

I'm not a fan of the windshield, but that's a GOOD looking bike!

So long as its not raining going to work I will take my chances riding. Dont care if I get soaked going home since I can change out of my wet gear as soon as I get home.
matter of fact I took my chances today, so theres a 60% shot of rain fo rme going home tonight. |

Sixxer and I had a lightning bolt hit right next to us on 95 down in deleware or MD when we went to the twf rally a few years back. Just one of our many adventures on a rather crazy journey.
