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.

we had all day rain here in st Louis yesterday with some down pours. on the way to work, while it was pouring, I saw a dude on a soft tail standard riding. Now I ride to work daily myself, but I will not leave on the bike if its raining. dude was hard core yesterday.

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.
