I'm an Idiot
Left the house at 6:45 am, streets were wet, but it was not actually raining. So I rode the motorcycle to work. Arrive at work just before 7am, warm up the van, pick up the load, ask the boss how his retirement is coming, get word of a 9 am walk-thru at a garage that is being brought back to life, out the door by 7:25.
It is POURING. Drive to the Call.Center and the rain gets heavier.
On the plus side, the weather reports says it should clear by afternoon for my ride home.

Shouldn't you change the title to "I'm male?" Same difference! ;-D
Seriously, though, shame about the weather. Is it pretty easy to drop a bike on a turn when the road is wet?

The rubber in motorcycle tires is a lot softer and stickier than in car tires; at a cost of less tire mileage. 10,000 miles is about average for a motorcycle tire.
