Weather rant

dirtysteve · 08-12-2008, 08:33 AM

I've got a rain suit and a Joe Rocket Ballistic suit- never worn them so much since I started riding

:(" title="

" border="0"/> The weatherman isn't even too animated anymore- just says "chance of showers." Then there is the lawn- mow every 3 days or have to rake it :'( Even this rant is lame!

It has rained every day since my buddy traded in his Honda 1100 for a Vulcan 900 Lt

:(" title="

I told him to sell the thing so I could go riding again.
At least the weatherman isn't saying " it's typical for this time of year anymore"

Yeah, we have been getting dumped on too. But I just suit up and go anyway. Went 150 miles right between two big storms on Sunday. Pavement was wet from the one in front of me, but I lucked out and never did actually get rained on. The one behind me almost caught me a couple of times. But even with rain, it is great to be riding. Sure beats January!

My grass is nothing but dried-up, dead-looking stuff, and has been for weeks, - BUT I've ridden to work every day and out on the weekends every opportunity I got, also for weeks. The weather folks have been predicting 30% rain/thunderstorms for almost every day, too, but we've had hardly a spit since spring. May have to wash the road dust off it soon...

If you want to know what it's going to do on any particualr day, call me and ask how I'm getting to work.

If I ride the bike, it's going to rain (even if it's only a 10 - 20% chance). If I drive the truck, it'll be dry (even if it's predicted to be a 70 - 90% chance of showers).

It's been that way for the past three weeks.
