Kinda forgot about how much rain can sting. Easy thing to do since we don't get much rain here. I knew it was coming but thought I could beat it home....

Nope, got caught in a nice little sprinkle, and at 60mph, those little drops of water felt like 100's of little needles being shot into my face.

no, gota full face but didn't have it on.... it's not mandatory here in AZ to wear one... and even though I should wear it all the time, I am bad like that....

Although, coming home on the 101 yesterday, I saw a bike burning in the center of the freeway.... made me glad I had one on at the time and may keep me wearin it. A REAL eye opener when you see shit like that up close and in person.

I thought it was common since you need a helmet to ride, kinda why i wonder why they even have a helmet law.

I'm in AZ.... we still have a choice here. But Yeah, I don't agree with "helmet laws"... It should be up to the rider. IMO of course.

However what I don't understand is that we have a seatbelt law and no helmet law... now that to me does not make sense.

Side note.... even though it is dangerous.... not wearing one is part of the thrill... excitement.... rush....

As soon as it warms up.... you gotta deal

Think I can do it on my warrior? It's about 7.5 ft long at 650 lbs.

How do you like that 1800? Those are nice bikes.
