Gettin...This was a gentle rain, albeit a cold one. Getting caught in a storm is a different experience -- every drop stinging like needles wherever it hits, no visibility, and the nagging thought that you should really probably get off the road (and would have, except that you've got somewhere you need to be whether or not the weather complies). <br /><br />The only issue with this rain was that it kept getting colder. I swapped into my leathers, and then swapped again into a hoodie with the leathers over it. It was better at that point because my core was warm, but my blue jeans were soaked through.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-13478827758184636342019-05-31T04:00:01.229-04:002019-05-31T04:00:01.229-04:00Raven, I think there's some truth to that theo...Raven, I think there's some truth to that theory. The new technology of cars that watch your lane position for you and 'autopilot' mode will only make it worse.<br /><br />Riding in the rain really sucks, if you ask me, though I'm sure it's better with the right gear. Not that I've done it much, but it stuck in my mind pretty well, and in a way that I'd like to not do it again.douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241790925053112959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-61502844330435982332019-05-29T00:13:57.281-04:002019-05-29T00:13:57.281-04:00Sounds like a lovely ride.

Years ago when I lived in the Northeast, I drove down the Skyline and Blue Ridge and linked up the Natchez trace trail to New Orleans.<br />These days the idea of a slow speed limit and not having cars sitting on my ass sounds really appealing. (I have this theory that the great improvement in safety in autos has merely encouraged crappy driving, as the penalty (physical, not legal) has been reduced.) ravennoreply@blogger.com
