I figured don't lean too much, first rain will leave the roads oily. That and good gear

Years ago in Florida a bike was my only transportation for a bit and riding to work in a Florida thunderstorm was no fun, especially when it's a cloudburst and there is six inches of water on the road, every car going by the other way is like getting god's own bucket dumped on you. 
I'm a pussy now in my old age, if there's even a hint of rain the bike stays home 
I went through that Highway 41-46 interchange probably 100 times in my life, I only found out maybe 15 years ago that that's where Dean was killed, there's a little road going north from the interchange called Cholame Valley Road, it takes you to Parkfield CA, (population 15)

A favorite of riders and well worth the 15 mile side trip to get a bite to eat, check it out next time. |
I remember you saying you lived up there. Thanx for the tip, we don't get much rain in So Cal, so we tend to get out a lot on the bike. My Dyna is for when it's just me and I want to go really FAST! At 54, I guess I should be slowing down, but just can't seem to do it, LOL Doctor gave me some news that will slow me down for a little while, but I will be fine after a few months

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
