Today the weather was horrible, rain, rain, & more rain.... but there appeared to be a hole between the waves of rain from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on radar. At 11:00 I got into my riding gear and together my wife and I walked out to the garage. I opened the garage door and my wife said "it's raining". I said "yep, but not bad". She said "ok, well, rubber down" and gave me a peck on the lips (she always wishes me rubber down before I take off for a ride), then she turned back toward the house and added "take the dirty one" . (She had just help me wash the FJR a couple of days ago).

Whew! I was thinkin' there for a moment to take the used rubber.

She’s been reading the discussion on the forum, http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....#pid236896

That's what I was thinking Cormanus ...so I have to watch what I say (Hence the thread title lol)

Apple polishing?

Friday I was out. 47 degrees and rain aren’t ideal for a fun ride.

You are right Novice. 40's and raining are my least favorite conditions for a ride. I'd rather it be freezing or 100 than 40's and raining.

A smart woman indeed. (Talented too - we still have her pottery on display at the cabin.) But the fact that she helped you wash the FJR goes beyond the proverbial icing on the cake.

Ferret,truly more info than we needed to know!
