yes -- yesterday was my first day riding my friction drive in the rain
I guess that most already know what I am going to say
it was NO FUN AT ALL !!!
my friction drive slipped like HOT BANANAS ON THAT TIRE
I had to push the friction wheel down so tight
that it took a LOT OUT OF MY TOP END SPEED
yes - and I should known better - I have been thinking about fenders
that DIRTY water came up from the front wheel into my face
mixed with who knows what into my eyes while riding
the OLD MOUNTAINMAN was soaked from head to toe
with a fender added to the front (rack on rear engine kept some water away)
I may be able to suffer through some more of this rain
but -- as BB King sang years ago
after just one day --- THE TRILL IS GONE !!!
it's looking as if it will be sunny today -- thank you Lord as I
ride that thing
