- Well he kept getting mud into his boots so he duct
- taped his pants to his boots. Unfortunately he taped up his left leg
- while it was on the peg. When he pulled up to the start line and tried
- to put his left foot down he couldn't and subsequently knocked half the
- start line down.
-
- A personal experience.
- About twelve years ago my SO and I went on our first major road trip.
- First week in June on an H2 from Winnipeg to Vancouver island. We bought the cheapest
- PVC rainsuits money could buy and they shreded themselves in
- the sleet and ice of the Run to the Sun pass (Sp) in Montana. In
- Kalispell we went to a mall to buy rain gear but all we could find were
- rubber hip waiters. All they had was size medium which was too small but
- standing in the store I felt I could endure them until we could find
- some real rain suits. I didn't understand the consequence of the crotch
- being down around my knees until I got on the bike. I was OK while in
- the riding position but I had to strain to put my feet down and then
- lock my knees at stops. As soon as I unlocked my knees my leggs would
- snap back up. Great entertainment for everyone. Green rubber hip
- waiters, shredded clear $2.00 PVC jackets, we were the most pathetic
- bikers ever.
-
- Oh, and one of the injector lines had debris in it so I had to run
- premix as well just in case. No tailgaters on the whole trip.
