I picked out a great road 68 miles of curves hills and switch backs with 3 90 degree turns. The 90 degree turns is where a farmer didn't want the road threw

part of his land.  77degrees over cast and I'm having fun scraping good on the boards and my shoe over hanging the floor boards too. The CT is working great

even those my brain says no it shouldn't. Went from 55 mph up to 70 mph back to 45 mph up to a good hundred.  Stooped once to pee and checked my lower aluminum

panel and no mud or cow crap. Home made mud flap working. Came out to main highway and sky look very dark. Time to head home yup rain and wouldn't know it

only thing in bag is cap and headed jacket. I tell you heated jacket and heated grips makes rain not to bad but it will never make rain good. New asphalt on most of the road home that scares me. Lots of other riders in T shirts so happy I have a vision.

Glad you made it home safely. Sounds like a super day before the storm. I'm not much of a 'board scraper these days but it still sounds like fun. I check the weather before I go out riding and take rain gear if it looks like it might be needed. (Weatherman has been wrong more than once for me. Thanks, weather dude! )

A heated jacket liner on a cool rainy day can be a life saver.

Even with a bit of rain, it seems to have been a good ride. I really enjoy just getting out and riding any distance.
