Living Legend
This one is not about me riding in inclement weather but rather a poor unfortunately soul on an old Yamaha RD350 in front of me. Austin, Texas had experienced one of those once in a decade freak snow storms that caught everyone completely by surprise. Fortunately, I was in my cage that day and tried to get home after everyone was let go from the shop. (4 hours to get home on a normal 20-min commute).
For a section of the drive I found myself following this guy on his RD. Of course, the roads were a solid sheet of ice by now and he would drive about 100 ft and fall over. He'd pick it up (kinda funny to watch) and try again. Go another 100 ft and fall over. After 3 or 4 of these events he turned into an apartment complex and gave up. Frozen, bruised, frustrated. Poor guy.
