7:00. Checked weather.com for rain as I'm getting dressed. 30%. OK, hit the hourly button to see when it's supposed to be here. each hour, the entire day showes 0% or 10%. OK, so it's not going to rain. decide to ride the bike. Just in case, I snap on the windshield. beautiful 15 mile ride in to work. 75~80 degrees, not a lot of wind.
Noon. temp is ~95, sunny. Grab a salad and head to the park to eat.
3:46. e-mail weather alert saying strong T-Storm 14 miles NW, heading SE at 10 MPH.
5:00. Look out the back door as I'm locking the office. Still dry. walk out the front door. just starting to sprinkle. by the time I get to the bike it's raining fairly good. Before I get 4 blocks away, I have pea size hail bouncing off my helmet. hail didn't last long but the rain lasted about 15 minutes. Oh well. shoes have all weekend to dry out before I have to put them on monday morning.

Hmmm, Note to self: Better mink-oil the shoes. Probably better do that to the saddle bags, etc., also.
Don't blend in!

Lets see.....isn't there something about, 'all good plans' etc. etc.
Yeah, I know, you won't do that until next time.

Heh, heh...that's what summer in Florida is like (although hotter and muggier). Even with 10% chance I pack my rain gear 'cause I might be riding home in a thunderstorm. Glad you made it home OK, the worst part about rainy weather is the idiots in cages that don't make any adjustment for the conditions.

Other than the twinkie engines, what else is made in Wisconsin, anymore? FL (FLH, FLT, & FLST) and FXST models are built in PA. Vrods, XL and FXD models are built in MO. The Plant in MO actually builds the engines for the Vrod, and I believe the engines for the XLs also.

Maybe it's where they print all the T-shirts...no, that's probably China. To answer your question, T. Beats me.
