Yesterday I rode the bike to work. The sky looked okay. About 10:30am someone said, "I hear thunder!" I thought to myself that it couldn't be. Sure enough, about 2 seconds later there was a crack of thunder. I immediately got on my bike and make a bee line to home.
In about a 1/2 mile it was sprinkling. Not bad! I can deal with this.
Within a mile it was raining. I thought to myself while driving 40mph, "this doesn't feel like bullets hitting me." So many people told me that riding in the rain at 40mph was like getting shot. That's a bunch of crap. I know because I was riding in the rain at 40mph and all was well,
Before I had driven 2 miles it was pouring cats and dogs. I was drenched! I almost stopped to wait for the rain to settle but I opted not to do so. It started pouring harder and harder. It still didn't feel like I was getting shot.
When I got to the corner of the street I live on, a neighbor starred at me in disbelief. Who could blame him. Only a nutcase would be riding a motorcycle in that weather.
I'm such a nutcase.
To tell the truth, I enjoyed it. Frances will probably have my head for it.
