And here I was thinking that it was my fault. I taught my son to ride his bike and I keep promising him that we will ride after work, but then it rains so we don't. Thanks for taking the blame.

No problem! I earned it.

9 years. I've been riding for 9 years and yeasterday was the first time ever I hit twisties in rain. I've been on the highway before when it rained but never on my twistie routes until yesterday. We kind of didn't have a choice, sky opened up on us. I gotta say...it was kinda cool. Bike's dirty as shit, that's not kinda cool though.

The last Anniversary trip we took was to Deal's Gap which was where we honeymooned. It was a damn monsoon the whole way there! It quit raining the last day we were there but, the Gap hadn't dried completely yet as we were leaving so, it was one of our slower rides. Not slow, just slower!

That's the one good thing about moving to Nebraska. I'll be that much closer to the Gap. Gonna hafta plan a trip next year.

DLIT, I've been meaning to ask you what the heck your avatar is!? It looks like some sort of instrument panel but, then it also looks like an iris of some sort??

It's the dash from his R6 that he wadded up in the desert and broke his back.

Ah! Now I see it! Thanks!

R1...the dash from my R1 I involuntarily smashed to bits.
