Trust your bike ?

I dont ride if there is imminent rain or other bad weather in the forecast. I ride for fun and getting soaked or having to pussyfoot around on the bike to keep it upright is not my idea of fun. My days of having to ride a bike because it is my only means of transport are over.

Like the wide bars on my 2005 Nomad. Feels like I have good control. Summer rain really can be fun to ride in, but the wind made it suck. Or should I say that it blew :)

If I might ask, what tires are you running ?

Bridgestone. I just keep replacing them with what came on it.

Black ice and salt will stop me... A hard steady wind makes riding hard when that wind blows triple tractor trailers from the rail in the passing lane to fill the break down lane.

In warm summer rain i will get as much clothing i have on off so it won't get wet and then ride fast so the water goes around me. desert dawgs help a lot.

In NH if you don't ride in rain you just don't ride.

I know what -60 is, and i will admit i am not going anywhere but camping in weather like that.
