I did figure the grey hair thing was in jest, Rando. I was serious about the folks taking care of themselves, though. The cooter thing was a joke as well, of course. Geezer is an attitude, not an age, which I have been trying to perfect for over 50 years. Just saying folks need to listen to their body, and react accordingly.

Thanks, Rando. I like my heavy old sled. As far as I know, slicks of any type on a bike handle rain just fine. Physics and stuff tend to allow that to happen, because they are too thin to hydroplane. I haven't been in the rain with those, but I like the looks of them after a few hundred miles. No cuts, strange wear, or anything to cause alarm.
