Rides Amusement Park
My favorite amusement park is Silverwood, a theme park North of Coeur D’ alene, Idaho. My favorite time there we were both on my 1,100 Yamaha Virago. I left my bike back at the motel to save on parking fees that day. We got soaked on one of the rides and by the time we got back to that motel in Coeur d’ Alene I was dry. That was such a fun day I’ll always remember it!
Motorcycle Rain Ride
I was just out to see my grand daughters on my other motor cycle a 1500 Vulcan classic, to watch them while their dad went to town to do some errands he came back and said “you had better go it looks bad outside it’s thundering.”
Lightening flashes as I hurried and got my long sleeved shirt, coat and helmet. I headed for home opting to for-go the bright yellow rain gear in my saddle bags. Thinking I could beat the storm. (Lesson learned: Big mistake here put on rain gear before heading out into a storm!)
It was just starting to rain an few drops. Then I got out of the rain and the sky brightened up, but when I turned off to head up the hill for home I headed back into the storm, then it started to hail. I had to slow way down. Hail hurts when it hits you when riding a motor cycle! This is the first time I’ve had that happen, yowie! Then it really started to down pour on I went, another motor cycle was behind me someone else was caught out in this storm also.
Water was running in the streets like rivers. Drops were bouncing six inches off the pavement. I continued on in this cloudburst avoiding the road construction dirt and mud I stayed on the paved roads. More rivers of water were running down hill, but I made it home safely, not before I was soaked to the skin. I have never been so wet on my bike before. It was the last three and a half miles that got me. I must adimt that it was the most exciting twenty five minutes of my week!
