No balls...
Rain never stops me. I'm usually the only bike on the road in the mornings going to work, except for this Highway patrolman on a BMW who is also going to work. Temps have been in the high 20s. |

I've started adapting the mentality that if i can make it to work without getting wet, then i'm good. It doesn't matter much if it's raining on the way home, it's the end of the day anyways and i'm just enjoying the ride

sometime its better to be safe and dry than to be sorry and wet. I ride year round rain, shine, wind (Santa ana winds 60+mph) heat waves and the last few days with morning rides to work in 35 degrees with an afternoon high in the 50's (very cold for So Cal) Some days I wish I owned a car.

My thoughts exactly. A 3 minute shower on the road is very refreshing.

For me it`s not so much getting wet. I can put on rain wear . It`s just that I don`t like having to clean the bike afterwords .

I heard that! I have a car but still take the bike anyway. But if it's a good chance of rain then I'll take the car. I see no need to put myself in-front of a bunch of speeding, distracted motorists and praying that they don't hit their brakes and hydroplane into me. And BTW - our "weatherman" has no balls and that's just he way I like it! ![]()
