Well…darn, got the first ride in today in the dry but the 2nd ride was another story….it rained harder than I’ve ever ridden in before and I was soaked through before I even got out to the beach…and then it rained harder on the way back…it rained so hard that I poured the water out of my shoes and have had them sitting out in the sun trying to dry them out for tomorrow…and that was after I soaked the water up from the insoles with paper towel…I even had to wash everything I was wearing including my hat that came through the washer better than I expected for 3 bucks…didn’t put it in the dryer since I didn’t want to shrink it…and I had to hose off the bike in the pouring rain to get all the sand\/dirt\/grit off it so the shifters and rear swingarm will work tomorrow…I’ll still need to wd the swingarm pivot to keep it from squeaking…but it was sill fun to be out there in the rain…and even some of the regular runners waved and laughed with the absurdity of being out in rain that heavy..oh, and I did go out for the grocery run and it cleared up enough to put the top down on the way home…I did change the wipers out for some beam types that I bought a couple of months ago since the passenger side was only clearing about half of it…probably the easiest wiper change I’ve ever done since the old ones came off easy and the new ones went on with just a little clip on the wiper…a good deal for 10 bucks a pair…okay, I need to make the coffee for tomorrow…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
