Rain.... been in the rain, not on purpose. Don't much like it. I have to go too slow for my preference. I've got Shinkos on the bike which feel much better than the Dunlops that it came with, which were awful on the grooved concrete that we see sometimes here.
My bike handles ok in the wet but given the particulars of that day, it wasn't the smart choice so I went pillion. I don't really have an ego about going pillion. I mean, I'm riding with my husband, so it's cool. Comfort zone and all that. I've been on the back of his bike for..... whatever it's been since the fall of 1989. Kind of tired. Hard to do math right now.

I only rode pillion once that I can recall, with a guy driving. I sure wasn't going to put my arms around him so I had both hands on the rear grab bar. Awkward! Now if it was a lady. . .
