Same up here. Raining like every 4 out of 7 days- everytime the temp is in the 50's, it's raining- when it's not raining, its cool.

Oh well, soon enough. Yesterday was nice though, about 65 degrees, and I might be able to get in a ride today also, but they're calling for rain for the rest of the week.

It's only rain. You won't melt. Get yourself a decent rain suit and get out there! I'd sure like to wait for perfect riding weather but a little rain (or a lot of it) isn't going to keep me from riding.

In a large city like Chicago, that would be suicide. Too many jerks on the road who don't know how to drive in the rain, talk on their cell phones, or texting. Almost been hit several times by these morons, and that was in good weather. To each his own I guess.

I am soooooooo glad I traded the chrome ***** in on this Limited. I would have zero miles on the old bike with all the rain we are getting. With the FLHTK, I just suit up and go regardless of the weather. My 80 mile commute has been soggy more often than not. Even been caught in a hail storm already this year.
