Saw the forcast this morning and they called for rain to move in during the middle of the afternoon (central Virginia).
Reluctantly left the bike in the garage. Turned out to be a magnificent December day. Did not start raining until 10 PM.
Damn, I hate missing a good day.
In late August they said a tropical storm would not make it in until 9:00 PM that night. I rode home (37 miles) in a monsoon that afternoon.

 

I hear ya!! I have always loved the "50% chance of rain". They should just say "might rain, might not"....

 

Don't think it's going to rain here tonight, it's 5 degrees

 

I just fo anyway and look outside before I go. Carry my cover in the bags if needed, and dress warm. The weatherman is always wrong.

 

I would of had to of taken my chances, but then again I do end up riding in the rain a lot.

 

I feel your pain. I't suppost to be nice this weekend here. We'll see. Gotta ride.

 

What happened to "If it ain't rainin I'm ridin"? You better change it to "If there's no chance of rain I'm ridin".

 

I run into that a lot around here...

I've got five different weather stations bookmarked... I get four or five different outlooks...

Its still a crap shoot... and still have to make the choice myself...

Sometimes I get wet... other times I get to smile...

Is there any other job that you know of where a person can get it wrong MOST of the time, and not lose their job?........... Good "work" IF ya can get it!

 

Always check the radar and see how far off the rain is. All weatherman do is read off the probability of rain that the computer spits out.
