Extreme Fluctuation in Digital Coolant Read-out on 2016ES... Others Afflicted?

[FJR Flyer]

Summertime, I just say its wet water. Fall, winter, early spring, its another issue.

its just rain posted: ..... It ran perfectly.

Succinct characterization of an FJR.

Now, about your screen name .... I spent two of the past four weekends riding 500 miles round trip to see my mother in SC. It's pretty hot down south in July, and I rode with absolutely no regard for raingear: ventilated jacket and pants, didn't even pack the rain liners.

"It's just rain," I said, when I spotted bikers cowering under a bridge struggling to put on their sauna-like rainsuits.

"It's just rain," I said, when my brother telephoned me about upcoming showers as we crossed paths; him heading west to ATL and me heading east to SC.

"It's just rain," I said, when Mom asked if I was prepared for the ever-present summertime threat of scattered thundershowers.

Am I alone with this attitude? (Except, of course, for the fine Forum member I quoted.)

I don't even carry rain gear, though my jacket does have a "water resistant" shell. "Water resistant" does not mean "waterproof."

The first full-day ride I had with one of my best buddies (now on the forum, come to think of it ) started in the rain. I called him and said "It's about to rain over here." He said "You're not gonna let a little rain stop you are you?" And I said "No, but I just wanted to be sure you'd go if I ride over there." He's still on a very short list of favorite riding friends; I just wish he hadn't moved so far away.
