Waking up from my first day of a 5 day vacation, my wife says we need to do errands today, and then I can be lazy and play on my PC friday. Going to the bank, so I dress in my khakis with a t shirt, button down shirt, and my nice black leather shoes. I'm looking good. Wife says, I want to ride on the motorcycle. There was no arguing with her. So I changed back into my jeans, put on a tee shirt and geared up. It figures that when I changed I didnt take out my ID when I switched pants. 4.29 per gallon for gas here. Anyway, I get on the weather channel, and its 30% chance Tstorms up to 1pm, then 60%. I told wifey I dont like the rain. She said it wasnt going to rain. Anyway, we stop and get gas, then go to the bank, and she asks me to pull over, because she is cold. I mean, 3 july and she needs to put a jacket on to ride? What happened to global warming? So we take a 60 mile ride from the bank to check out indiana university south west campus, she will be going there after next summer. You know, it started coming down pretty good mid way there. I was really worried, as it was dry when it started. I was afraid the oil and whatever might come up and be a hazard. I"m still pretty new riding, and Just my 6th time riding 2 up, now riding in the rain on a slippery surface was not my cup of tea. We made it back home with no problem. One thing that was funny, I cracked her up just a bit on a good long stretch of highway, i think I hit 80. She started digging her nails into my ribs and thrusting her elbows back and forth really hard. I grit my teeth, dropped to 5th, cracked the throttle. She kept at it, so I dropped to 4th and cracked the throttle harder. She stopped. LOL I slowed back down and made a nice lazy ride on the rest of the way home.
