dude, please.

I rode yesterday, and this morning. You gotta look for your windows of opportunity. We can ride practically year-round here. Getting a little wet is ok for both you and your bike. (your nameless bike)

Don't take this too seriously - just trying to see where it goes. I'm right in the convergent zone - and yes I ride year round but if you were right here (Bothell/Woodinville) I don't think you'd be riding right now unless you were totally hard core. I grew up in England and I've been riding in the rain for 36 years. But the last few days has sucked. I've lived in this area since 1991 and had Harley's continuously during that time. We've had inches of rain. - And I work for a living so I have to commit for the day. Where are you in the Great NW?

I'm just to the south, Lake Tapps. I was up in Seattle yesterday, and did a short local hop (Tacoma) this morning. There was no riding to be had for most of last week, I'll give you that.

I wanted to ride up to Seattle this morning, but I knew I wouldn't be able to get back on the road before 11, which is about when it started coming down pretty hard again.

Oh, and I work for a living too. I'm just not gonna let a little rain wash me completely off my bike. I put lowers on for the winter, and I'm gonna add a fairing. If you're getting wet, maybe you're not going fast enough?
