On second thought, looking back over the "contributions" by MTC and Ben, I might just have to repeat the word Vegemite to myself until I manage to fall asleep.
Man, do I need to go for a ride or what? Going to have to tap into some CB-therapy soon.
I thought the same today (about myself, not about you
...). I read where we were supposed to receive buckets of rain this evening, and I decided to channel my Inner Mickey and get on out there. Part of my motivation was to test the rain-worthiness of my crazy-expensive Rev'It 'Poseidon' riding suit, their top-of-the-line, Four Seasons, waterproof Gore-Tex product.Ummm...no. Within forty minutes my lower stomach and crotch was soaked. My fifteen-year-old BMW Gore-Tex gloves fared only slightly better. When I pulled into the same gas station and Mexican restaurant where I took Eric the other day, the people inside the restaurant all stopped and stared, and not in a John Wayne entering the saloon kinda way, either.
Nope, I looked like a drowned rat. A little kid even pointed at me and asked his mother why I was so wet. The mother tried to stifle a giggle, unsuccessfully.
Yeah, not good. My Big Adventure Rain Ride was the proverbial washout, and now I'm about to look up Aerostich online and see about committing yet another act of sheer financial lunacy.
On the plus side, the bike managed just fine. I only almost-crashed twice!
