Was NOT supposed to rain this morning....so, off for a coffee ride into the boonies.
Light rain started, but radar* looks spooky - heading home and here it comes....
"Cool, haven't had a good rain ride in a long time!"
Cell phone into ziplock bag and into top jacket pocket - billfold into the top case. (always have cell phone in a zipped jacket pocket -
always)
(This became
the biggest rain and thunder I've ever been in while riding a scooter!)
No good place to stop - soon couldn't get any wetter - Yellow helmet repels lightning ~ so....
The Kymco & Michelins never missed a beat.
With caution - lots of rainbows in the city puddles - no rain in many weeks &
lots of oil waiting on the pavement.
This old LIKE200i's engine & CVT package is sooo smooth it is easy to ride safely in the worst weather.
And fortunately, I could remember most of the words to Tom's song....and ignore the thunder & pounding rain!

It was actually a blast - I looked like I'd stepped straight out of a lake when I got home.
Fortunately the family was still asleep as I got stripped down in the garage. Must
close the garage door next time!
* use the heck out of weather radar on the cell phone.
