Ridin' in the Rain!

[V7Goose]

Woohoo! Rode 900 miles through Fay yesterday! Well, to be honest, the first 400 out of Fort Worth was dry and beautiful, but that last 500 - WOW. Thank goodness for a new Avon Venom on the rear - I was able to keep the bike around 70 MPH in just about everything without even a hint of anything but perfect control. Those tires are just AWESOME in the rain. Still have a Pirelli MT66 on the front, about half worn, and it did wonderful yesterday too. Sitting at my brother's place in north Georgia today watching it poor some more. Wonder where Fay keeps getting all this power and water?

 

Hopefully it will move on by over night so we can head out for Arkansas tomorrow and some DRY riding!

I too was very impressed with the AVONS in the rain. They don't look like the would do as well as they do. Glad you made it safe! I wonder if she will ever run out of rain? I'm starting to get a little P.M.S. myself.

I hope the rain will move on up to NC by tomorrow and you can have a dry ride over to Arkansas. We could sure use some rain.

hope you got your wish. My wifes rain gauge( Spelling?) has 9 inches in the last 24 hrs. Mcleansville N.C.

I have a set of new Avons on mine Goose but yet to ride in the rain.

Not that I have a big issue with it but it just has not rained here for too long.

 

Glad to hear you did not have a problem.

I don’t know for sure, but I would estimate we got about an inch. South and West of us got a flood. We may get some more tonight.

Man, I hope it clears out a little for you to make to E.S. Looking forward to seeing you there. BTW -- the clutch is great!! Thanks.
