Phantom Water

[Watcher]

So I was outside all weekend on the motorcycle in pouring rain, parked her in the garage around 7pm, and there she sat until the next day around 10am when I had to get to work.

She looked nice and dry, so I threw a leg over and rode to work, got there fine.
Worked for about 4 hours or so and then had my lunch break.  Hopped on, rode about 10minutes, got some pizza, hopped back on, and got back to work with a damp rear end...  Backs of my thighs, from about the buttocks half way to my knees.

I was thinking "Huh, that's weird, I wonder if the seat still has some water soaked into it from thr weekend.  That sucks!"  The rest of the motorcycle looked quite dry, but when I pressed on the seat nothing came out.  Didn't really think much more about it, and I just went back in and punched in.

Worked another 4 hours or so, while Yoshi sat in the sun.  Came out after my shift, looked nice and dry, pressed hard on the saddle and nothing rose out, didn't even feel cold.
Threw a leg over, rode home (about 10 minutes), hopped off and BAM!  WET ASS!!!

What the hell?  I was expecting the seat to have sponged up a bunch of water from the weekend, but then why didn't my ass get wet on the ride TO work and the ride TO the pizza place?  Only the ride BACK to work and the ride HOME!?

I'm wondering if some of the plastics were somehow holding water, and a combination of speed/wind direction was pushing it out where the saddle meets the fuel tank.  Not sure.
Just kind of one of those weird unexplainable oddities...

The fairing can hold water in my experience. No idea how.

Incontinence?

Incontinence?   

LOL!  No.


I did figure it out.  There's a second of the saddle that wraps around the tank a little.  THIS was holding water.  So the main part of the saddle was done dry but the edges near the front were still damp.

Sat her in the sun again, gave the saddle a few squeezes, we're good to go now.

Wet ass, you'll get used to it happening eventually if you ride in all weather's.
