Today first time EVER riding in the rain.......................[:'(]

So-Cal freeway's, 1st rain of the season..........[:'(]

Bike's dirty..........[:'(]

RAIN RIDING SUX!!!!!!!!!! My butt is still puckered and arms are still tensed up...........

Rain Riding = NO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

only day available for the next 2 weeks to get her in the shop...........

oh well, my leather jacket kept me dry and so did my Golf Rain pants..........

Now I just need about 5 hours to clean her back up...........

 

Yep - no doubt about it, riding in the rain will take the fun out of motorcycling. Slick roads, auto drivers not paying attention, and the massive cleanup!

 

What the heck are you talking about??? It never rains in California [:-]

 

I'd rather sandpaper a wildcats a$$ than ride in the rain. I've done it, but don't like it...

 

come on a 1/4 of rain is enough for me............

 

At least you made home in one piece...

 

I hate rain ridin too. The worst I ever had to do was ride home from Ocean City MD in the pouring rain. Its about a 4 hour trip and the rain made every second of it miserable, not to mention I was on a Sporster.

 

Sometimes you just don't have a choice. I went on a 3200 mile ride back in May and the first day we left we rode the last 200 miles of that 400 mile day in a downpour. We just put on the rainsuits and rode on, yeah it sucked but as long as you are dressed for it can be done.

 

Rmarion............funny you should mention it! I left Pt. Mugu (Oxnard) this morning and rode back to Arizona. Had rain from Oxnard to Palm Springs. Hate it! I am glad to be back in Arizona tonight!

I ride everyday. I usually am pretty lucky though about missing the rain. But for those rainy days I suit-up and ride on. Not much traffic on the road when I leave for work so I tend to be the flow of traffic. At work I usually check the radar picture if weather is questionalable and race home in between weather bands. Of course I sometimes miscalculate and get a 30 minute white knuckle ride. As for cleaning that is always a Biach for a daily driver. Enjoy the ride.
