Default hail

ok...getting caught in pes sized hail on the freeway seriously sucks. Serious kudos to BT016 tires for amazing traction in the rain. Rain X anti rain and fog on the visor and mink oil cream for the leathers works great. but will check weather better next time....was pretty unsettling.

Preid , where's your manners , you did mean "bet that sucked ***** of hail"

PamW .............I know where you are coming from...........nothing worse than
hard/solid water to potentially mess up your day real fast.

Good to hear you did okay .

no over passes between where I was and my off exist......were all under passes....go figure......leathers are finally dried out...amazing how quickly water runs down slider pants into your boots....and down sleeves into gloves.......ice cold water......mixed with wind...OUCH. I am however all toastie warm under a blanket most of the day. Just waiting for my lady to get home from her family holiday deal.

Weather was pretty crazy today. It snowed here in Hemet for a while, Nice change from the 100*+ weather.
