    Yep... after seeing some responses here and doing some Googling about the matter... it is normal. Just strange that I never noticed it before.

    Went all over my bike; nothing out of the ordinary with it.

    As I try to think back, which sometimes makes my head hurt , I only recall the smell after rolling in the garage while it was still raining. If I travel through the rain and then ride dry roads home there was no smell.

    So I guess the "unsub" hit it right.
