Yeah, no kiddin. I trust the weather folks to...........about.... ohh, screw it!!! they can screw up yesterdays forecast!!!![sm=smiley4.gif]

 

Had my bike a little over a month now and have only missed 1 day so far due to 100% rain. The rest has been anywhere from 26 degrees to 80% rain (and it falling) . This is 6th bike but frist HD and it has been a few years since last bike . Almost ready for the 1000 mile service now. Not many days are going to stop me even the Tornado that we almost had destroy us 2 weeks ago in Enterprise

 

Speaking of weather wish me luck for Sunday! I am taking Dawn out to Dunlop,a little lake I fish at which has some nice smooth pavement and nice big ovals for her first ever ride! Suppose to be 70* & she so wants to try so here we go[8D]

 

If its cold I put on my leather gloves,jacket and boots.My full-face helmet is great for cold or wet weather.I don't wear it otherwise.But basically 45 degrees and up and I will ride.

 

For a day run, yeah,I will go-no go- depending on the weather. For a planned trip with any kind of distance, let the chips fall where they may, and go prepared!!...meathead

 

As long as I can get a good radar pic of the past few hours to what is coming and knowing how the weather generally acts here I usually pretty good about calling for it to be a wash or, notand it is usually different than what the pros are saying good or bad

 

Hey Tommy... there are two environments where we learn to ride really well... in the dirt and in the rain.

Get yourself some good waterproof gear and come out and play man. You'll be surprised at just how much
traction you have and you will get way , way smooth in the wet stuff.

 

I'm really not a wet weather rider myself. Down here in FL, when it rains...it really RAINS! Especially in the summer months. Don't even like driving in the stuff, never mind riding. Hurricane like conditions sprawl up here all the time and sometimes it's totally out of the clear blue sky. Living in the tropical climate can get interesting. Personally, I prefer living up North and will go back someday. As far as the riding season is concerned, Nov-May in FLis like the best riding and golf weather you can find anywhere....

 

Dirt bike, rain snow, mud... it's all fun.
Street bike....I'm a BABY I am lazy.....I don't like cleaning. If it is raining, I have nice dry vehicles with roofs and wipers.

 

Usually dont watch the weather .They never get it right anyway.If I want to ride I do .I have ridden twice this winter at 14 degrees.Rain you know what they say T**** float not melt.Ride Safe
