I don't normally bitch about killer riding weather, but we sure could use some of the wet stuff here in the Phoenix, AZ area...Over 100 degrees the last few days.

We can ride in the rain, yes, but cagers on cell phones, drinking coffee, etc. have to learn all over again, just like the first snow fall.

HMMM, I guess BlueDuece and everyone else who bought a new bike in the past 3 weeks are the ones to blame for all this crappy rain!

.................................................. .....................Joking!

It is like 7 years ago I bought a new polaris classic touring. The day after the temps were in the 60's[:@] I only rode 500 miles that year[]

Can I just say that here in North Texas it's been dry with highs in the lower 80s for the last week or so? Sorry.

No rain this morning in Mid-Michigan but the roads were wet from last nights rain. More rain coming this afternoon 60-70% chance, so I decided not to ride to work today.
Supposed to clear up for the weekend. [sm=biker.gif]

Been raining here in da Burgh as well. Saw the forecast a week or so ago and rode to WallyWorld and bought a cover. Still adjusting to apt life with no garage. Could be worse...I could still be married. [:@]
