Welcome to the forum from the Arizona Rain Forest. I hear your pain Bro. Since I got my new scoot in January, we have had over double the normal rain fall for this year. It has got to stop sometime..., doesn't it?

Arizona Rain Forest! That's a good one! They say we haven't had this much rain in over 100 years! Go figure it happens in the first year we get a new bike??? Me thinks I am going to check out the rain gear thread for some more info real soon.

Hey maybe if I buy some rain gear, and you know spend/invest in the new gear, it will just quit raining for the next 100 years to spite me?

I thought about rain gear but I'm not too sure of my capabilities on wet pavement...yet and we have snakes here in AZ. A snake is when they patch cracked asphalt with tar very slippery when wet and/or hot.
Are they dangerous? Yes especially to motorbikes.
Does MVD know that they are dangerous? YES!
Do they do it anyway? YES!!! [sm=guilty.gif]

When the monsoon season hits in July, I will have more experience and I will buy some rain gear then. But, for now I must be content to be a fair weather rider.

Thanks Ironhead. I can see my picture on the image hosting website and can copy all the codes and paste etc etc etc but for some reason I can't seem to get the photo placed in my profile, a signature, an avatar, or in a message. But hey, I'm a stubborn ole bastard so I'll keep at it!

Well this whole picture experience has been about as fun as pulling teeth on a rain slick highway. Managed to get my bike posted off to the left. I think it is an avatar? Still can't seem to get a picture in the profile or figure out how to put one in my signature.
