Pouring rain

Wow, it's pouring rain. And this isn't the thunderstorm-type downpour that will finish in an hour or so, but the all-day-long type soaking rain that could run for hours. Why, you may ask, does this matter? Because, of course, I rode my motorcycle to work today. It just doesn't look like I'll be dry on the trip home.

Just so long as you're *safe* on the way home. :)

Thanks. ;)

Still got full leathers, and the rain suit is an extra layer of protection -- and wet asphalt doesn't abrade as much as dry asphalt.

But, actually, I've ridden in the rain a lot of times, it isn't a particularly new experience. I've ridden through a tropical depression, where it was raining hard enough I could barely see the tail lights of the car ahead of me, even. That was when I was young, and too dumb to pull off the road, though.
