Guess I will just flip a coin on which gear to use no way I can make up my mind.

Should be along Friday 5ish.

Same here.

I'm leaning toward mesh. It'll be cool early morning start but rain liner makes good windbreaker.

Hot & sweaty out in that grarage. Needed some ice cream to cool off. Made White Russian instead.

It just started to rain here. Should pass overnight and be especially muggy tomorrow at dawn.

I'm pushing out (of the garage) at dawn.

Here's the story on Slayman's bike. When he was thinking of purchasing a ZZR Slayman joined the ZZR forum. This particular bike was owned by a good member of that forum and had an accident on it and died. There wasn't much damage to the bike so one of the other members took the bike and repaired it. The ZZR forum sold off raffle tickets for the bike and Slayman won it. All the proceeds went to the the member's family. Slayman still shows up at the ZZR meets and his participation on that very forum means the a lot to the forum. I certainly thought this was worth sharing with folks.

Pulled in home about ten minutes ago.

I drove through big rain from 10:30 - 16:00, then another big rain here on the Canadian side.

Everything is nice and clean from the rain, except for a crazy stain on the back of my bike???
