8 August. So Im sitting in a meeting and the bottom falls out of a cloud and its raining so hard you can hardly hear anyone speak. Everyone turns and looks at me. It finally tapers down to a nice heavy sprinkle and I go out, fire up the Wing and quickly dry off my seat. I think it was Gods way to tell me to get all the bug guts off the windshield, so I wipe it down. Throw my leg over the seat and get just a little wet from the fresh drops on the seat and pull out of the parking lot. Get her up to speed and start feeling all smug and shit about not putting my rain suit on. You Wingers know what Im talking about. Just fast enough the rain is barely clipping your helmet and you tuck your feet up tight behind the heads on your engine to escape any water coming up off the front tire. Your all comfy and toasty and actually staying dry. I guess since it had been raining most of the day there was hardly anyone out and the traffic was minimum at most. Passed a couple of cars and the occupants look at you like your insane but they dont realize how nice it can be riding in the rain. I work my way through town and avoid as many lights as possible so I dont have to stop and I get about 2 blocks from the house. There is a car coming and the glare off the road has caused a white out on the windshield so I reach up and raise my shield so I can better see the road and just as I get almost parallel with the car it happens. Did I mention I was feeling all smug and shit. This hasnt happened to me in some time and it caught me completely by surprise. The car hits a hole full of water and power blast me. I mean my whole left side is completely drenched in a nano second. It hit me so hard I actually felt my jacket flutter like a flag in the wind. Did I mention I raised my shield. I felt like my nose was the bow of a ship cutting a tidal wave. When I pulled the Wing in the garage I dont think there was a dry spot on me....at least on the left side. Im sitting up here writing this and I swear I can still hear the water dripping off my bike. Did I mention I was feeling all smug and shit. Did I mention I still, Love Yall Mean It.
