[QUOTE="beemerdons, post: 716757, member: 4296"] You're indeed correct Crash Cash! So, I copied Jo's Rain poem here. azgsgirl is also a very accomplished Arizona poet, always weaving motorcycles into her poetry! "In the Phoenix area, it's so unusual, it's a celebration. Riding in the Rain Clouds hang drift, float, swirl across the unchanging face of the mountains. I smell the wet desert mesquite, creosote, crushed granite. Rain lashes across my helmet visor, my motorbikes tires sing with joy through the water on the road. Inside my gear I am warm and dry, my legs snug against the sides of the bike. I think about the drivers in their cars, probably feeling sorry for me. Under my helmet, I smile knowingly at their loss." [/QUOTE]
