ride home

[darth frosty]

had an interesting ride home from work this morning. Had just installed my kuryakyn and did the stock can mod last night at work. coming home ran into fog. my face sheild misted up on me and it was hard to see the road.

As I approached the fog I thought maybe some ones car was smoking, then when my sheild started misting I realized what was going on. Made it thru OK but I was wandering, whats the weirdest weather any of you have ever riden in?

Wow, worst weather I've run into is was a freak hail storm.

Didnt catch it on the news before I left and didnt out run the clouds.

Do you use Rainx on your shield?

Worst weather I ran across was a steady freezing rain here in Bosnia during a normally two hour ride home that ended up becoming a 24 hour event and had me hypothermic and cramping on the Busa... All because I was visiting a girl in Tuzla. That day was the heaviest "summer" snow storm in recent history with the hills above Sarajevo receiving a lovely coating of powder. All of the NATO/EUFOR convoy vehicles that had come across the western pass into Sarajevo had frozen slush/snow on the cabs.
I managed to keep myself alive just long enough to make it home and submerge myself into a steamy bath for two hours. Then I slept for 18 hours...

I would say hail. I was riding home on a back road through corn fields and got nailed and their was a tornado within site. Wind was terrible. It hurt like heck and was getting blown all over. Scared the crap out of me. Made it to buddys house and stuck bike in his barn. I was soaked and felt like throwing up.

Nah she was a straight beotch!!!
But, godamn she was "finer than a muderfuger".
I mean stunner, lock your eyes with half a glance, that hot and about 6'1" auburn hair, stacked like a brickshethouse supersllutt... Everything on this chic was Oh shet hotttt!!!!
But in the end her attitude was her demise. Talk about a dominating controlling biotch...

Years ago when I didn't have a car too I had to ride to work in 2 foot of snow on a CB900 (Don't know which was worse the snow or that bike, but that's a different story) Also while touring France I had lightning strike in the field next to me as I was cruising down the Motorway, then it rained like I had driven through a passing lake!!

+1 then while riding turn your head a little to either side and you'r golden. Same thing happened to me Sat morning. It was 5am and I had every intention of going to Brattleboro VT, well I got as far as Agawam MA and turned around because of fog. It was so thick I couldn't see 3 feet in front of the bike. And because it was still dark out I had my clear shield on, the one that ISN"T treated with Rainx. I went home and went back to bed!
