Apologies if you've seen this already but I figured a group of airheads might like it:

Finally into decent riding weather around here.  Rumor has it that it rained over night sometime last week, but I'm not sure I believe it.. one or two puddles could have been from someone watering their lawn.

Texas roads exist in a sort of state where once they get wet, forget about traction.  Always use the far side of the lane when passing car washes.

I was in Portland, OR September 28-October 3rd and it was pouring the whole time.  So much for our drive out to Mt. Hood/Multnomah Falls, and the drive the next day down to the Williamette Valley.  :(

Hate to point this out - but it looks like someone stole his license plate - tail light, and fender too. The whole shebang!

Once that's replaced along with the skimpy excuse for a front fender, it won't be a bad looking bike!

I think it looks pretty cool, but it would see much less riding around my area in that configuration.
