Yesterday or day before I was out and ran into what our meteorologists call a cell or pop up shower where its only raining in one little area. You can go from dry to rain to dry in just a few miles. I pulled over when the first drops hit and threw on my rain gear and continued on. Under this cell it was coming down hard, hard , hard..what we call a toad strangler. In about 5 miles I exited the cell and continued on dry roads like nothing had happened for another 2 miles before I passed a guy on a Harley going the other way. We both acknowledged each other and I noticed he was wearing jeans, a sleeveless t and no helmet. Typical for riders around here. I knew what he was riding into and almost turned around to follow him just to see his reaction when it went from sunny clear dry roads to a visibility limited down pour 2 miles further on dressed as he was.
