I'm in Michigan, but I've been riding a couple times already. I couldn't wait on the rain any longer.
Mostly riding primary roads, where the traffic has blown away most of the salt.
some of the corners are dirty tho.


Glad to see the rain tho. next week looks to be a little warmer too.

While driving to work today up telegraph you could see the salt puddles and streams in the left lane. Hopefully more or heavier rain will come today.

yes I think that's what we're going to be up against tomorrow and the next few rainfalls... gets salt all over the bike when you go thru them...

WTH is snow & rain? California can really use some, but it's too late now. I hope you're back on the road soon.

I have had the bike out twice in warren/romeo...Salt washes off....not to mention...and I can talk for everyone...but if your bike has as much wax on it as mine does...a few rides this time of year is fine. 2005 RG 88000 miles. No rust...lol

Picked my bike up from my Indy yesterday, looking forward to the rain today and tomorrow...

Now need a little warm up so we can get rolling again.
I have cheated, took a few 5 mile or so round trips just to make sure I remembered how...LOL.
