yeah motorcycles in the snow
thanks --had not thought about that in a long time
what did you ride?
me........ i've had a bunch of bikes
starting with an old single cylinder harley from the 1960's if i remember
correctly it was a 250cc thumper.
a couple of crazy dirt bikes. the only way you could ride them was WFO.
72 trumiph bonneville...a fun bike
an 850 road commando...wish i never got rid of it
77 HD XLCH ...long gone
77 KZ1000-rocket ship still sitting in a garage for the last 15 years
unridden
a few others hardly worth mentioning.
thinking about buying a HD again............we'll see
sailed thru a hail storm in october about 3 years ago in bright sunshine
while being pelted with chunks of ice
ouch that hurt. the sound of hail bouncing off the deck and rig is pretty
incredible.
today we'll be bicycling in the rain if all goes as planned

yep you are right about the mention of t storms all summer in LIS
and this forecast (like all) requires your own visual and tactile
assesment
Yes, except it is not Summer in LIS now.
i have and still do sail out knowing the forcast as well.
what is missing from this conversation is the use of ones senses
I'd rather wait a day and sail in nice weather. Must be getting old.
I used to ride motorcycle in the snow, but no more.
sail around them?
now how do you do that?
2 possiblities exist
one you don't sail far past your mooring
That's bob.
two, you must own one hell of a fast boat.
a Mac26X?
yes i sail with forecasts of T Storms but it is only after my own
assesment
see i usually sail often with my daughter and friends aboard and
feel
responsible for them, if not for myself.
In the summer, it's hard not to, as almost everyday there's a 'chance
of t-storms'. I don't mind getting wet when it's warm, but it is
cooling down now with this cold front.
A nice thing about the Chesapeake, there are lots of well protected
anchorages scattered throughout the bay where you can 'duck for
cover'.
