RE: Fair weather rider?
I'll admit I'm a fair weather rider. \\; But then I'm spoiled, it doesn't rain much here in AZ! \\; (I'm actually a non-rider at this point, until my ankle gets stronger...)

RE: Fair weather rider?
Rode nearly 300 miles Sat. up to Jackson, TN and back for 2 friends to get their bikes serviced and to get a good lunch. \\; We had some wet roads going and ran into a good shower a few miles from home, but it was a great ride anyway. \\; Even my wife didn't think it was too hot.

I"ll admit I must be a poser. \\; Don't intentionally ride in the rain, and after getting heat exhaustion going home from work last week I've parked the bike until the high heat warnings are lifted.

I'm in SW Ohio and didn't start riding my 08 till November. I've got 5800 miles on it and it's seen it all snow, sleet, rain, etc. Did unbelievably well on sleet covered roads!

I need a professional bike washer on staff, it freakin rained almost every damn weekend this summer. Tuesday night is make it look half azz for the weekend night. Finally invested in a some rain gear too, got tired of getting wet. Stopped at a rest stop one afternoon going through Massachusetts and a cager said I was feeling for you back there, i just grinned, i was having the time of my life.

Are you guilty? \\;\\\\\\;
I rode 2000 miles last week in the hills of Arkansas and didn't see a freaking rider one, albeit it was a tad warm, but still, the weather was GORGEOUS! \\;\\\\\\; Of course I'm a true biker, just ask me.
