Probably the best in the world :rofl

I spent 10 days in France touring on a motorbike. I was in Sarlat la Caneda when a thunderstorm exploded overhead. I took this pic from my hotel room. The street was flooded in five minutes :jawdrop

    You made some serious mileage, it seems!
    And yes, storms are quite good here... We even had some serious hail last week (that would beat rain, on the biker's suck-o-meter!)...

    Thank you, I had a great time. I stayed on D roads as much as possible and rode some great roads. Thankfully I missed the hail !!!
