MV Agusta F4 1000R + Wet Mountain Roads = Crazy

My neighbor and me went on a mountain trip. Unfortunately, it rained a lot but it didn't stop us from having fun. The rain would be on one side of the mountain and not the other so we had fun when we could.

That MV Agusta sounds amazing. Would love to hear it in the higher RPMs.

Riding on wet roads is usually more fun than driving on dry roads.

@PaulMEdwards Riding on wet roads is fun? Spoken like a true motorcyclists living in the soggy Northwest. I'll agree that riding in the wet increases the "pucker factor", but if you like that, you may need to turn in the bike for a parachute and base jumping! Check out my other videos with the MV at Daytona International Speedway and Jennings GP to here her roar :)

@jng1226 I said riding a motorcycle in the rain is more fun than driving a car when it's sunny. I've done 125 mph in pouring rain and wheelies when it's snowing. Weather isn't much of a hindrance to me.

@PaulMEdwards Yup - you Northwesterners are cut from a different cloth. I'm usually a fair-weather rider, but I was in the mountains for only 4 days and we had to get out in it or not at all.

@jng1226 I'm originally from Southern California. I just like to ride.

My 2008 Buell 1125R has almost 63,000 miles on it. I bought it new on 1/15/2008.

@PaulMEdwards 63K! That must be some kind of record! What's your screen name on Badweb so I can look up your posts? I'd like to know your service history. I love the Rotax motor, I had basically the same motor in an '03 Aprilia Mille R and it did 15K+ track miles at VIR when I lived in NC.

@jng1226 I heard somebody in Arizona who works as a service tech and owns an 1125R may have about the same miles as me, but I could never confirm it.

I go by Chameleon on BadWeB.
