Trolley Tracks and rain dont mix(pics)

[ham4864]

Ok so me and a few buddies are out ridding yesterday 8 of us.
So around 10 p.m. we see lightning then a few drops so every body decides ok time to go in we all go our separate ways.Then out of the blue it pours like a monsoon and i just happen to be on a city street with trolley(Philadelphia) I saw it coming,be fore you know it i was on the ground my back tire hit the track and that was it,me sliding down the street.

The only thing hurt was my pride and a little scratch on my left arm Thank god I'm a righty

I'm more upset that when people see you fall on a motorcycle they just look at you.

man the the busa is heavy it took me 3 tries in the pouring rain to get it up.

On top of that once i get it up it stops raining and i start laughing.and cursing.It was so dam hot out the ground even started drying.

I told a few of my other buddies this story about the rain and the tracks and they said when did it rain.

I guess that cloud was just over my head.

But all is well and i have ordered most of the parts that i need.

Here are some pics of the damage.

To answer your question, a trolley is a mass transit in town train (like buses). The catch is they run on rail road tracks that are set into the pavement. Normally not an issue but the problem comes when the cars have worn ruts in the road way. This mean you have a metal rail sticking up that is like ice. You have seen the results.
