Title: Monster + No rain suit = Post by: optiato on May 22, 2008, 06:46:47 AM Hah.. oops... just for the record, office chairs aren't comfortable in wet jeans. It wasn't supposed to rain today...! So I scheduled n appointment with DucSea to get my rear swingarm looked at ( @^)*@#$^(& ), cleared it with my boss to give me a couple hours in the afternoon.. and it rained.
Well, dangit, I'm no wimp, it's not far to work, I'll just ride anyway. Oops. Right now I'm hiding in a back room with a space heater (which aren't allowed in our building) trying to dry out my legs and my desert camoflage boots. On the bright side, my mesh jacket (with rain liner!) performed flawlessly. I just thought I'd share my discomfort with you all this morning.

Title: Re: Monster + No rain suit = Post by: Stangman on May 22, 2008, 07:10:28 AM Only happened to me once and it sucked. Came out of nowhere too..
Those raindrops turn into bbs real quick once you get moving. Yet another time I wonder what guys with no helmet do.. [laugh] Title: Re: Monster + No rain suit = Post by: ltnuke on May 22, 2008, 07:12:24 AM Peeing your pants is the coolest!
Title: Re: Monster + No rain suit = Post by: optiato on May 22, 2008, 07:14:00 AM I rode with a helmet back in my cruiser days... rain STINGS!
Title: Re: Monster + No rain suit = Post by: optiato on May 22, 2008, 07:17:46 AM And on top of that, my bike kept trying to stall when starting from a stop.
(I didn't downshift all the way... I haven't done that since my very first ride on the street years ago) Title: Re: Monster + No rain suit = Post by: MaxPower on May 22, 2008, 07:47:42 AM Peeing your pants is the coolest! .... then consider me Miles Davis!

Title: Re: Monster + No rain suit = Post by: optiato on May 22, 2008, 01:56:35 PM I sat in front of a tiny space heater for an hour to dry out this morning...

It's a right of passage to becoming more than a fair weather rider. Title: Re: Monster + No rain suit = Post by: optiato on May 23, 2008, 05:45:16 AM Nah, I've ridden in the rain before, I'm just usually a little more prepared for it.
