NATIONAL PLEXIFAIRING GT ON T100........IN THE RAIN

[Village Idiot]

Well, you'd think that after living in New England for nearly 70 years, that I'd have known better that to leave my waterproof overpants in the garage last Sunday morning, but, I trusted the sunshine, fool that I am! Anyway, long story short, I got caught in a fairly decent bit of rain and was pleasantly(?) surprised to find that the Plexi GT did a very good job of keeping the rain off my upper body; just a few drops on my arms and faceshield. Basically, from my the tops of my knees on up it was very efficient. Needless to say, from the knees down it was a different story, but that's what "waterproofs" are for. I'm going to see if I can extend it a bit with some aftermarket "lowers" and maybe try to get a set of covers made for the Hepco Becker bars, although that might be a challenge as they fit tight to the exhaust. I've got a good upholstery shop in my area and if anyone can do the job, they can. So, I'm giving a big "2 thumbs up" to the National product just in case anyone has wondered how it works.

Jim, I got caught in the rain twice last week. I didn't even bother putting on the rain gear.

Well, Carl, you know that us New Englanders tend to melt in the rain, don't you? All that I can say about you native Floridians is to quote Rudyard Kipling: "....you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din"! I've got another meet this Sunday and thunder storms are predicted...........you can bet that the "waterproofs" will be with me this time!!! Ride Safe, my friend: Jim

You ride safe, too. Here the rains are usually short and you dry out quickly.
