    R6 in the rain

    Theres a new owner of an R6 in town, he has owned it for a couple months. You can always tell he' s coming into town from the sound of his straight piped exhaust and cruising through town at high revs, you can also tell its him as his bike echoes through out the valley when he leaves....and he's not even getting on it. You can spot him wearing a sweatshirt with ski goggles for eye protection, and the chick he's riding with wearing a ski helmet....it is the mountains Anyway, I heard him and his Exhaust more than a few blocks away coming into town. I see two Gixxers, one guy hunched on the tank at 35ish, the other in a t shirt. Then my man on the R6 cruise by. They were headed up Berthoud out towards 70. A minute after they passed, it DUMPED rain and sleet. I hope they all made it without incident

    Maybe they were both headed to a wet t-shirt contest and figured what the hell!
