Sounds like here (Oregon)--only I'd say mid forties, raining like hell on
occasion, and I made the mistake of riding my Ducati this morning because in
a moment of May-induced delusion and cabin fever I thought I saw a spot of
blue. The little gap between jacket and helmet that a sportbike crouch
generates is perfect for scooping rain down the middle of your back. It's
going to be a nasty ride home.
Still, nice to hear someone's having a nice day.
Have a nice ride home Susan, and I'll be thinking of you as the water
trickles down my spine. Hmm, that didn't sound quite right.
Bill

49 degrees, windy, rainy and Triumph still better described as "a
collection of Triumph particles, separated by no more than two
counties". Thanks for bringing it up... Glad to hear you're having fun
though ;-)
