I did. Took my GL1800 to work today. Stopped for a bite to eat and sit with my son to talk a bit. Started raining lightly, evaporated quickly so I thought nothing of it.
Well, on the way to work, hit 4 showers which weren't bad and didn't make it past the fairing as I rode. Didn't get wet at all.
#5 was completely different. It was a solid downpour and I did what I normally do not and stopped under an underpass. The car ahead of me moved up and his daughter signaled me to move up further out of the rain. Great People! I only stopped because it was coming down so fast and hard it was standing on the road making it treacherous to ride on it. It only lasted about 10 minutes but it put a lot of water down!
I didn't wear my waterproof boots so I couldn't put my right foot down because the water was about 3" deep and fast that side. So I couldn't even get off the bike to put on rain gear due to the deep water. Needless to say I was rather wet when I got to work and took about 3 hours to dry out most of the way. Since I kept the rubber side down, I can laugh about it and think of the other times I got caught when I was younger and just kept going because I wanted to get somewhere! Now it doesn't seem as important to keep going.
Not a super interesting story but I had to at least start my entries to try and win this months contest!
