Default Freaking Rain!
I just took delivery of my new 2008 Sportster 1200 Low yesterday and had to ride her home in the rain. Spent three hours last night cleaning her up and now it looks like I won't be able to take her out again untill Sunday when it suppose to clear up.

Only 7 miles on the clock and waiting!

Damn!

That's some bad timing! Bummer. Don't know about you, but we haven't had rain in this part of VA in 2 months and the drought's been hurting us. Are you always this lucky? []
