Default It rained on my new bike

Hadn't had my bike a week and I got caught in the rain. Good grief, don't even have plates for it yet. Fortunately I had my rain gear on and cleaned her up when I got home.

I've been rained on the past 2 days riding my bike down to Virginia Beach for the Annual Jail Conference. I have rain gear but both mornings it looked clear when I started out then right about the time I get to my destination it starts misting /raining on me. [&:]

I've been getting the night rain in Williamsburg the last few days. Leave for work in the afternoon and it's not raining, then the bottom falls out when I am on my way home around midnight. It's been grey around here so long, I almost forgot what the sun looks like.

The only thing you should worry about is the air cleaner lol

No kidding. For whatever reason, the dealer didn't have the rain cover for the air cleaner. Said they'd order another one and send it to me.

Hope my bike doesn't catch a cold.

Do you have SE heavy breather or Forcewinder? Either one should come with rain sock.

Default RE: It rained on my new bike

I got caught in a downpour on my way home from work last night.
And I don't have a front fender on.
As soon as I got home and put my soaked clothes in the wash, I took a shower.
After the shower I stepped out on the front porch and opened a cold beer.
It stopped raining.
