I got caught in a sleet storm last year. I was only twelve miles from home but that was the longest twelve miles I ever rode.

Well I'll give ya that. Everytime I stopped at a light I was checkin' the
road with my boot to see how slick it was. Didn't get slick, just wet.

You must be up around Salt Lake or Provo. Just checked the radar and
the storms don't appear to be connected.

Gettin' pelted in the face isn't the worst of it. I can take a certain
amount of that. It's not being able to see and wondering how slick it
is. Thank God I had on my fingerless gloves and Harley logoed "Road Warrior" jacket.
