[QUOTE="Jon, post: 291346, member: 5219"] It's an unfortunate fact that motorcyclists love to tell stories of extremes -- riding in extreme conditions, for extremely long distances or dealing with extreme obstacles. Let's face it, the story is more interesting the more out of the ordinary it is. The only trouble with this is that the more common extreme stories become the more likely it is for less-than-average riders to attempt to mimic this kind of behavior. I had some extreme riding experiences in my youth, but I'm careful who I share them with. For example, I never bring them up during the MSF classes I teach. I have talked about them with a close circle of riding friends who understand the risks involved. So, I don't think it's wrong to talk about extreme rain-riding experiences, although I for one would not have ridden that fast in heavy rain. Let's just remember who the audience is when we make our extreme reports. [/QUOTE]
