Well that was wet

[lsorense]

Given realsoonnow has gone camping/hiking for a few days with Enrico and hence has the car, I had the choice of either taking the bus to work (which takes about an hour and a half for 20km) or taking the motorbike.  Well I picked the motorbike.  It was dry when I left although that only lasted about 5 minutes.  I managed to stay dry for about half the trip to work, but I was almost entirely soaked through by the time I got there, except where the jacket liner covered.  Apparently I should have put the liner in the pants after all (it tends to be too hot though).  Even the cloves were soaked from water running down the sleeves into the gloves.  I think I should put the cuff of the gloves under the sleeve in the future.  At least my clothes were mostly dry by lunch time, and the jacket and pants were mostly dry when I went home and it had stopped raining and I had a spare pair of gloves (although for warm weather that would not have been fun in rain).  So going home was fine and a lot faster too.

Well now I know why they have rain gear for motorbikes.  It's to make you stay dry for more than 10 minutes in a down pour.
