I cannot believe how well this bike does in the rain, solid sure footed and just goes.

I stopped at McDonald's for a cup of coffee a few weeks ago while riding up to Knoxville in the rain.
In a busy place called Alcoa. Pulling out of McD's on to 129 I goosed it too hard and went sideways,
my left knee hit the left handlebar. It straightened right up and I continued on  Smiley ...

PR5 on the back, AVON something-or-other on the front. I don't think it
was the tire's fault that I goosed it too hard pulling out on a wet busy road...
