Got drenched coming home !

[vettestr]

I know we live in the desert but starting to wonder about this it's a dry heat $h--. I jumped on the freeway to return home after the Xmas/ Marines Toy Drive. I had to slow down as I started to hydro a little but was able to keep enough speed to keep rain from dropping in cockpit. The water still sucks in around the wind wings and off of the sun visors to keep a steady stream also from windshield post holes as the rest blows over head. I have a puddle on each sides footbox.

The engine stumbled a little at lower RPM as rain entered the hood scoop so downshifted to buzz the engine a bit. I could see a stream coming off the fender mirrors so know it was coming down hard. Air cleaner stopped or misted what must have been the same stream pissing down on my footbox's. After about 5 miles had to exit freeway and a red light drenched me without speed to blow rain over the wind screen and made me hope for a short light so I could get moving again.

No more than a few moments after pulling into the shop the rain slowed to a regular rate. Timing is everything and I was off a bit on mine so got drenched but no harm no foul, the footbox's will dry sooner or later!!!!!!!
