Ike sucked.

The ride to the CF rally last year had me following what I could barely make out as a red light, no matter how close or far I was from Tommy all I could see was a faint red glow.

yeah I was in northern AR riding down to FL... fuck'n SOAKED... 3hrs of absolute solid rain... I had to ride with my visor open and my head down to just look over the wind screen as I couldn't go fast enough to get the wind to clean my visor... and wiping it just made it 10x worse.

then... got down into mississippi and it was hot as a motherfucker... yeah my gear smelled awesome!

I've ridden in some heavy rain. Wet feet, wet hands, soggy crotch. My head and upper body weren't bad except where the vents let water in. As long as I have dry clothes where I'm going, I don't much care. Now, hydroplaning bothers me! I love passing cagers in bad weather

I hope you don't. My front wheel lifted, and I had to slow down to get it back on the pavement. Had the wonderful choice of riding in ruts full of water, or center lane oil slick. Got lots of crazy looks
