Award for crazy?
...so I was headed home yesterday from a morning spent fishing out on Galveston Bay (thunderstorms, small boat, carbon fishing rods, close lightning strikes, terror), and saw a rider on some FLH variant right after a frog choker thunderstorm. I was thinking that this was a brave man to go riding through this weather, especially with no rain gear (or helmet). Then he gets his cell phone out and talks on it for a few minutes. Wacky. Then he takes both hands off the bars and rides that way for a few minutes. This is in moderately heavy Houston traffic.
The combination of all of these things impressed me somehow, against my will. My hat is off to the guy.

We got off the water when the lightening started, and felt plenty stupid.
This guy gave me the impression of a high milage rider. I am hoping he posts here and will explain what the hell he was thinking.

I can't believe ya'll went out. I would have figured the tides and wind would have screwed up the fishing before you got there. You are right about the dude on the bike. I have seen some real die hard riders this year.

Well, it will be off to him again when he goes by in a hearse.
