    Rode my bike in the rain for the first time

    Spent the thanksgiving weekend with family in Fresno Area, then afterwards, rode on highway 41, which is the intersection with highway 46 where James Dean died.

    Rode to Pismo then jumped on PCH to Lompoc and stayed at the Embassy Suites. They had a Happy Hour with free hard liquor!!!

    Next day, Sunday, the rain was just a drizzle, but needed to head home. It rained on us from Camarillo to Van Nuys and it got pretty cold on the legs.

    Bike did great, didn't feel safe to drive over about 65, got home and had a cup of water in both boots.

    What I learned, get better riding boots and better gloves, My summer gloves suck when it rains.
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

      LOL, there truly is a first time for everything. :D

      I recall back in my biking days wishing I had a little windshield wiper on the front of my helmet.

              Living in Florida and riding a bike meant staying late at work during the rainy season or making the 1 mile trip in the rain.

              I got over the rain pretty quickly.

              Spend you some brain.

                  Wait, one whole mile in the rain? How did you survive?

                  I rode in the rain from LA to Daytona, a week in Daytona and back to Phoenix before I had a rain free day. All without a windshield or full face helmet

                                      Yeah, I had goggles on and I have a windshield, but my face is above it

                                      I think I could do that now, just would get better rain gear. I had a half helmet on with goggles, but I had a windshield

                                              And it was the dead of winter so it was fucking cold too. Being a California native my "rain gear" was limited to my chaps, leather jacket and gloves. Some places were so damned cold I would buy a newspaper and stuff it under my jacket and bought cayenne pepper to put in my boots for warmth.

                                              It was raining when we left, rained every day on the way there, every day we were there (camping at the Cabbage Patch), and every day on the way back except my last day in AZ which was beautiful.


                                              My typical rain/cold weather gear

                                              Just remembered the hail storm in New Mexico with no windshield; that really sucked hard

                                                  Hail? damn, that would suck!

                                                  My windshield clips on, I keep it on most of the time. My Dyna has no windshield and never will. Still haven't bought chaps, don't know that I will ever need them. But I do have to get better boots.

                                                      any tips for riding in wet weather? don't think i'll be doing much other than the office and back but figure its good to know.

                                                      (no my course didn't cover this or a lot of other things!)

                                                          Bike did great, didn't feel safe to drive over about 65, got home and had a cup of water in both boots.

                                                          What I learned, get better riding boots and better gloves, My summer gloves suck when it rains.
                                                          You rode right past my place, I probably heard you but so many Harleys go by on PCH I don't pay attention to all of them.

                                                          Years ago in Florida a bike was my only transportation for a bit and riding to work in a Florida thunderstorm was no fun, especially when it's a cloudburst and there is six inches of water on the road, every car going by the other way is like getting god's own bucket dumped on you.

                                                          I'm a pussy now in my old age, if there's even a hint of rain the bike stays home

                                                          I went through that Highway 41-46 interchange probably 100 times in my life, I only found out maybe 15 years ago that that's where Dean was killed, there's a little road going north from the interchange called Cholame Valley Road, it takes you to Parkfield CA, (population 15)

                                                              I figured don't lean too much, first rain will leave the roads oily. That and good gear

                                                              I remember you saying you lived up there. Thanx for the tip, we don't get much rain in So Cal, so we tend to get out a lot on the bike. My Dyna is for when it's just me and I want to go really FAST! At 54, I guess I should be slowing down, but just can't seem to do it, LOL Doctor gave me some news that will slow me down for a little while, but I will be fine after a few months
                                                              Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                  Well, I guess a lot of my suggestions would depend on the area you are riding in. I have been in thunderstorms in the middle of nowhere Wyoming that my only advice would be, ride in the center of the lane as it is the highest part of the road and the water will be the shallowest, then when you find a highway overpass, hole up there.

                                                                  I have been in monsoons in Phoenix which I would say, turn around, get a car.

                                                                  Goggles are a good backup to windshields; slow down, get a bright colored rain slicker as leather does absorb water and black leather pretty much matches the highway, so a slicker will keep you dry and increase your visibility.

                                                                  Best idea is don't if you don't have to.

Being a California native my "rain gear" was limited to my chaps, leather jacket and gloves. Some places were so damned cold I would buy a newspaper and stuff it under my jacket and bought cayenne pepper to put in my boots for warmth.

                                                                                                      It was raining when we left, rained every day on the way there, every day we were there (camping at the Cabbage Patch), and every day on the way back except my last day in AZ which was beautiful.

                                                                                                                  Tips for Riding in the Rain: Double Pane Shield for your helmet (anti-fog capabilities due to the air pocket between the two layers). You dont want your helmet fogging up when the rain is already making it difficult to to see. Get some nice rain gear to ride in and nice boots. Dont ride in the middle of the road. Stay to the right or the left where car tires are. Slow down. Also, if you havent bought a motorcycle yet consider one with an anti-lock braking system...its a game changer. Ive got it on my bike and love it for rainy days.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

So you know, those bridges can be nutty. I lived all over, I lived in the city and rode the bay bridge commuting to Cal for several years, then all around the other side of the bay, I forgot what y'all call that side anymore, lolz, this was 1990-2000. that is where I learned how to dress to ride in all kinds of weather.

It was raining 2 days out of 3. If you didn't ride in the rain over there, you didn't ride at all. I got so good at riding in the rain, I actually enjoyed it.

So you know, those bridges can be nutty. I lived all over, I lived in the city and rode the bay bridge commuting to Cal for several years, then all around the other side of the bay, I forgot what y'all call that side anymore, lolz, this was 1990-2000. that is where I learned how to dress to ride in all kinds of weather.

Maybe we saw each other on the road back in the day. I used ride an FZR 600 around the time you were here and I was always commuting into the city from Fairfield or Concord.

I went ahead and sold all my bikes since I knew the recovery would take a while. WHile I miss riding tremendously (we all know there's absolutely nothing like it), this all has allowed me to pick up surfing, it's great exercise for my recovery and well, it's surfing! lolz. So I'm grateful for that.

                                                                                                                                                      I always think about bikes though and wonder what and when my next bike might be.
