that rocks!!!!:rockon: after riding in that a little rain will be nothing!!!:thumbup:A couple of nights ago, we had a major rain storm rip through Vegas. Probably the worst in ten years. I was at a casino along the strip and waited for the rain to let up. It stopped around 4am. and I hopped on my bike and headed home, which was about ten miles away. The route is all surface streets, heading directly west, which is slightly uphill. After 5 minutes, it started to rain again. It turned out to be a torrential downpour, with huge crosswinds. Felt like I was riding through a hurricane. The entire street turned into a river, garbage cans, debris floating away. Every intersection was flooded. My FZ6 turned into a jet ski. I rode all the way home in 1st gear. I had to make sure that I had enough torque to fight the water currents. That was the longest ten miles I have ever riden. The only part of my body that was dry was my head. Otherwise, it was like if I jumped into a swimming pool with my clothes on. That's how soaked I got.
