Now if you had the Multistrada 1200 with ABS and traction control, you could get to work even in the rain in half that time...lol

Went out yesterday just after 1:30...while wet, it was a breeze to get around. Today...ugh. The usual 20 minute drive was done in a shade under 40 minutes. No collisions, just slow going due to heavy rain. (Happy to see peeps driving carefully.) Drove slowly through about a 6" deep pooled section of water, watching the steam come off the exhaust pipe...hilarious.

The snow covered mountains will be pretty once the weather clears.

the 405 for the next 3 years is undergoing a major transformation... it is supposed to be absolutely ridiculous to attempt to drive on it at times and they may even shut it down all together for short periods of time.. they are widening the freeway.. I believe adding another carpool lane
