I rode out to the prison this morning. Had breakfast with some of the other volunteers at 0630 hrs. We have areal flood warnings up for the rain coming through. But as I pointed out to the other guys there at breakfast, I would be drier walking out to my bike than they will be walking to their cars. And with heated gear, I am comfortable immediately. So with a little RainX to keep the visor free of rain drops, I enjoyed the ride.
I took the High Bridge road home. It's a nice curvy and hilly road. Surprisingly, there were only a few places where there was gravel or mud on the road, even with the rain we've had. The back end did step out a couple times. Nothing serious though.
I got a chance to practice what it is like to ride a real adventure bike, a GS. Like a good GS rider, I stood up. I realized afterward though that I only got off the seat, not the full standing position required to be a real GS rider. It was more of a "sport-touring" pose, probably because I ride a F800GT, not a GS.
I should go back to practice this and get it right...
