Hah.. oops... just for the record, office chairs aren't comfortable in wet jeans. It wasn't supposed to rain today...! So I scheduled n appointment with DucSea to get my rear swingarm looked at ( @^)*@#$^(& ), cleared it with my boss to give me a couple hours in the afternoon.. and it rained.
Well, dangit, I'm no wimp, it's not far to work, I'll just ride anyway. Oops. Right now I'm hiding in a back room with a space heater (which aren't allowed in our building) trying to dry out my legs and my desert camoflage boots. On the bright side, my mesh jacket (with rain liner!) performed flawlessly.
I just thought I'd share my discomfort with you all this morning.
Don`t you just hate a wet noodle :o
Very, very much so!
Only happened to me once and it sucked. Came out of nowhere too..
Those raindrops turn into bbs real quick once you get moving. Yet another time I wonder what guys with no helmet do.. [laugh]
Peeing your pants is the coolest!
I rode with a helmet back in my cruiser days... rain STINGS!
And on top of that, my bike kept trying to stall when starting from a stop.
(I didn't downshift all the way... I haven't done that since my very first ride on the street years ago)

Ahhh, ball soup. :P
Where's that aeriel view pic of the yellow Monster going through about 4' of flood water?!
I sat in front of a tiny space heater for an hour to dry out this morning...
this hopefully won't be the last time you ride in the rain.
It's a right of passage to becoming more than a fair weather rider.
Nah, I've ridden in the rain before, I'm just usually a little more prepared for it.

As long as it's not limp, wet might not be too bad of an option...

That rain today here in Seattle pissed me off... but I knew it was coming. Check out www.accuweather.com and use the hourly forecast.
