I picked my new SG up in NYC to ride it down to Fl in 40 degree rain, didn't see the sun til damn near Chesepeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel. Don't much remember the rain, too much fun playin with my new bike Gotta admit tho, I remember how good some of those bowls of soup tasted when I got cold! Hey, it's gonna get wet sooner or later, enjoy

I understand your predicament. My new RG is supposed to be ready next Wednesday (I friggen hope!) and the forecast is for, you guessed it, RAINY and cool all week! I really don't want to ride a brand new bike 3.5 hours home in the rain but I guess a guy has gotta do what a guy has gotta do. Shouldn't have to worry about running too hot, I guess.

Go get it.

Are you kidding me??? Ride it home rain or shine.
No way I could let my new bike sit without riding it, rain or no rain.
They're not difficult to wash
