Starting the event with a convo: "you think it'll rain? Nah, we're good, Im sure we'll ride right past it and never get hit."
5 minutes later, "holy schnikes batman, I CANT SEEEEE, the thunder is gonna knock me off the bike, pull over!!! CRAP, no exit!! WEEEEEEEEE!!!!! *under breath *suck it up princess!*"
Confused yet? 
For me, sometimes theres nothing better than doing something totally retarded and idiotic to make me really enjoy life. Ebbs told me the other day, "insanity is the fuel of life". I think the crazy man may have a point... |
I ride in the rain all the time, it's not that. Getting stuck in a thunderstorm for 7 or 8+ hours is not my idea of an adventure, especially alone, on a freeway surrounded by semi trucks.... why do it? I can show up Fri when the weather is clear just the same and not have to deal with it. There are things that just happen and then there are things you can plan for. I see zero reason to "plan" an 8+ hour ride in a thunderstorm when I can easily avoid it, that's all. Once I get there and get all my stuff off the bike, I'll be happy to go for a ride in the rain with you for fun, just not on the freeway for 8 hours. Besides, you're not even meeting me at DGR on Wed so what do you care?
