Ive come here for penance. last night the wife and I rode out to visit my parents, left any and all rain gear at home. sure enough, we had another of these wonderful Atlanta nights with 12 inches of rain. (starting to feel like Seattle here).
Im ashamed and disappointed to report that we lift our bikes there and borrowed a truck to make it home. Meanwhile my son (who rides a sporty) rode through it like a man.
Oh the shame......

 

Rain has been killing me. I bough the bike about 5 weeks ago and I swear I've had about 5 dry days, just constant rain. Saturday is supposed to be dry, I think I'm heading to the mountains in it holds up.

 

Tell me about it! It's been like 5 weeks with rain nearly every day of the week! I guess the good news is that all the lakes are way up...

 

After going through Atlanta during one of those down pours, I don't blame you at all. In a cage during morning rush.

 

I think you made the right call......

 

Thanks yall, Im debating getting a jet ski. Im proud of the boy though, for insurance reasons he found himself in a situation where the motorcycle was the only option. for a 19 year old hes made some pretty good decisions regarding his daily commute. hope I didnt just jinx it! Yall be safe out there in "A"town

 

Turn in your card! Shame, for shame!

Actually, I've never had any rain gear, so I'd have to tough it out and be a "rain rider".

 

Not much rain in Seattle during the Summer. . Sounds like you made the right call.

 

Atlanta weather seems like its always to the extreme, either so dry we have a drought or rain almost every day for weeks. What happened to normal? Considering last nights weather you made the right choice.

 

Just made the trip home from the Outer Banks NC, to Indiana. We rode thru pouring rain with cars pulled off the highway. No fun but not much choice. 2150 miles in 6 days with 950 of them on the last day getting home. Talk about Swamp ***... Whew!!!
