Rain
It’s raining… again.
The temps are starting to climb. Spring is on the way. It was 50 degrees on my way home from the Yamaha dealership a few minutes ago. It rained really hard on me when I was driving home from work. Just now I got home with only a few sprinkles.
That is one of the quirks to Oregon that I have not gotten used to. It can be raining AND sunny. It can be pouring in one place and perfectly dry just a few miles away. We’ve got the Gorge, the Coastal and Cascade Ranges, the Willamette and Columbia rivers, plus a rather large ocean less than 100 miles away. So there are a lot of different inputs on the local micro climates. Back in misery, I mean Missouri, the weather was regional. It was hot (or cold) for hundreds of miles. Rain would cover a 4 state area. Snow from Canada down to Tulsa. Tornado bearing storms would cut through hundreds of miles of open plain without minimal damage. Different place.
It will be a while before the mountain snow melts and then the real fun begins. This summer I am going to spend some time in those mountains buring fuel.
Still, it is strange only having one bike. I sold my DL last summer which dropped me down to one moto. I’m still thinking about the SuperDuke. Thinking, thinking, thinking…
