When a wet ride feels great..
« on: August 29, 2021, 03:42:58 AM »
After too long a time at 90 plus degrees and 90 plus humidity with the AC buzzing in your ears

Weather broke over Friday night to 75 and showers

I drove north to my favorite swimming hole..nobody there





A bit later on w full rain and a slower steady pace it just felt great to get outside. Coffee stop snap





Came home and watched slow motion replays of MotoGP at Silverstone this weekend





While using a clay bar on a 75 honda 400f Antares Red tank…





Living the life..I hope you can too

Everyone stay safe in the gulf coast, and plenty of other places/ and circumstances, right now..geez

On a really hot muggy day, a good rain on the ride feels *good.* Shortly the sun comes out and dries you off. With any luck at all, you'll pass into the cold front and stay cool.  :smiley: No need for rain gear in that situation..

Sometimes it can be too much of a good thing. We were in the middle of Nevada on the loneliest highway, temps in the high ‘90s when we hit a big storm. We had warning but thought it would be a good way to cool off. Cool off we did and were soaked when the temps dropped to the ‘60s. It was over an hour to the next town, Ely, and my wife became hypothermic. Fortunately got the last room in the motel and she was able to get in a hot shower.
