Downpour Adventure
Was at the outlet mall with my buddy and the sky opened up..
We both had our helmets hanging off the side of our bike.. His visor was open and mine was closed.. but they both got wet inside. My palms are a blue black color from my gloves... Later that evening the lady at walmart asked me if my hands are bruised. lol I just tucked up into that windscreen as much as I could.. Did not realize how much protection it offers until yesterday. Probably looked like a goofball all tucked like that, but it kept me warmer too.
Kept flashing lightning across the sky.. And when we got closer to town the sun was setting in one direction and dark cloudy on the other side and there was a rainbow.
Was pretty cool actually.
My shoes were all squish squish...
And my dad just basically shook his head at me.
And I'm all.. 
I'm supposed to look for bikes for my new bf... Hmmm. I think he should get a zx14 and then we can trade. ;-) lol

Riding in the rain is always fun. This last patriot ride I was surrounded by a few thousand other bikers... and it started to rain. Although rain really isn't a strong enough word for it. It fuvking poured, it was a mess. By the time we got back we we're all drenched, all our gear, gloves, boots and everything else was saturated, even our leathers. We weren't expecting that much rain.
Gotta give props to the stunt crew that were the mid ride entertainment though, they went out and performed in the rain and actually did well. Was decent even if it was cut back some due to traction issues.
