Don't rain much here, but when it does it make up for the time there is no rain.

My bike needs to see some rain soon, it needs a bath.

Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain
Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend


But I always thought that Id see you again

Back when I used to dirt ride I'd see ads for dirtbikes that read: NEVER BEEN RACED - like that was some kind of reassurance that the machine was better than any of the others for sale. Ya, right. Every time I rode dirt bikes with my buddies (or anyone else) it always turned into a race. That's what led me into racing motocross. I always stay away from pinhead ads from like that.
Never been in the rain....sheesh.

Thanks again Wulffe! Now I will be singing that song all day long also. By the way. The first day after I brought my bike home, I gouged it's eyes out. Just so it wouldn't see any rain.

8 miles on the bike when I picked it up at the dealership...drove it home in the rain. Ah crap, now what?

If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a few minutes and it will change.

Better yet, when they are advertised as "Adult Ridden".

When I worked at the dealership I saw bikes come in for trade that were amazing, probably never saw rain. My favorite was a 1998 Heritage with less than 200 miles on it. The guy brought it in and traded for a 2000 Heritage. Why? We'll never know .............
