Got caught in hail

    Got caught up in a hail storm on Thursday,  riding along in bright sunshine when a super cell started to appear with crap loads of lightning. Then out of no where it went black at started dropping hail the size of my thumb. Only had 3 kilometres to go to home with no shelter any where, it bucketed down and I had almost zero visability.

    I copped a hefty battering on my arms but amazingly there is not one mark on the bike, I washed and polished it on the Friday then carefully went over with a super bright torch to check but not even a small mark, I was sure I was up for a hefty insurance claim.

    Which ever gods are up there, they were smiling on me that day.

    FARK -- you should go get a lotto ticket while your luck holds! Glad the bike came through perfect. There have been some bad hail storms around mine this year and you can't guess where some will have cars etc written off or nothing at all to worry about.

    Probably a Fat Boy dude ...

    Singlet and thongs.

     

    EDIT: I now have my money on a Sportster.

    Who said the riding a Harley wasn't exciting?

    Good thing that the bike came out uninjured and your bruises will go away.

    Good story over a beer.....
