I just moved from Western Washington and to say these rainless bikes ride 3 months out of the year is really a kind esitmate! Man all it does is rain there!!! I thank god everyday now that I moved from that miserable place! No offense but man there were times I wanted to eat a bullet! So, I moved south and the weather is amazing here... CA taxes suck, but it's worth the price in my opinion!

The adds that make me laugh the most are the ones where it's like 20 year old bike with under 4000 miles on it!?!? Good lord, time to go through that sumbitch and replace some gaskets and carb, not to mention new oil and plugs, but hey, you'd get a nice older bike that hasn't been broken in yet!:-)

No ****! I love to visit NorthWest, but no way could I ever live like that. Even down in Florida when it rains every afternoon in the Summer, the day starts with sunshine and parrots right outside my door and there's a beautiful sunset after the rain passes thru.

And, how could these claims of "never ridden in the rain" be proven? I'd put my washed/waxed bike up to any of these so-called "rain free" bikes, and you couldn't tell the difference.

And yes, I ride in the rain. It's inevitable if you ride. On the other hand, if you're a wienie...

I'm just impressed you still have the tank! The front end is a dead give away!

I never liked fat-bobs. even "back in the day" I preferred the look of SG tank.
The front end was a temporary setup till I got a 39mm narrowglide for it, but I fell in love with it and it stayed.

Yeah if my kid and my elderly mother did not live up here I would have left by now. But Ive grown up here and learned you cant be a fair weather anything up here, get out and just enjoy the rain or briefly the sun...
