Default It figures...

I got her back yesterday from the dealership and it was "supposed" to rain today, so I didn't ride to work today. Well we had about 3 minutes of drizzle...and that's it, I could have rode just fine. I plan on riding in to work tomorrow, not supposed to rain until the evening.

But if you did ride to work it would have poured all day, Murphy's Law. LOL...

+1 Murphys Law will always rule.

We are just now getting rid of the 7 inches of snow that showed up on Saturday night.
Roads were clean and I had been riding most of the month of March and then.....

Be safe.

If the forecast is for rain, put an umbrella in your saddlebags and go. Other than snow, I try not to plan my rides around the weather. Otherwise, I'd go on a rampage and no weatherman would be safe.

It is ok to ride in rain. Your bike will not rust or lose value, and hopefully you will not melt from the water. :^)
