Not to make you feel bad, but I'm looking out my office window and I see nothing but blue skys. It's in the high 70's today. Tonight I'm going to use my Road King to take my wife out to dinner. This weekend also looks great for riding. Last weekend I did a 1000 mile trip up north to visit my daughter in College. I know that's enough already.

I feel for you brother. I hope your weather gets better soon.

That is why they make rain gear.
Did a ride 3 weeks ago , 50, and rain most of the way, but it was 70 and Sunny when we got to the memorial.
I have been riding in the rain a lot this year, I stopped washing the bike after I ride in the rain, because it is such a pain in that butt, I will wait until this cycle is over,before I wash it.
