Yesterday's weather was calling for partly cloudy, highs in the 50's with lows overnight in the 30's. So I rode my Majesty to work. (4pm-mid shift)
During the shift it rained. Rain? There was no mention of rain in the forcast.
When I left it had stopped raining but the roads were still wet. With patchy ice it turned out. I got on the interstate only to find the bike was sort of wiggling a bit. Not bad, but new sensation. I dropped my speed and got off the interstate as soon as it was practical. Luckly there was little traffic and there were grooves of dry pavement to ride in.
It took me longer to get home than usual. The wet road, and the damp air combined to make the ride colder than I have experienced at the same air temps. The ol' Pucker factor was pretty high there for a while.
