lock down... wet summer

Post by homie »

Homie don't ride wet :cry: This summer so far as been intermittent showers, a rainy season like I remember living in Florida. It seems as soon as it looks clear and dry if you wait an hour it will rain again. I bet this doesn't stop most of you from getting out there but I have issues with OCD, bright and shiny scooters and its only offset by the perfect lawn I get from all this rain 8)

homie, Sneak that ride in between the piddling rain. It'll do ya good.
Here, we've gotten better weather the past few days. Today's hot and humid. I will ride to the beaches again. Always a breeze there, but I look, well um...silly in all me Sunny Glo attire. Not so bad, cause it's WN who gets "The Look of Love" 8)

I ride whenever it is time to get where I'm going regardless of the weather as long as there is no ice on the road. Which is every day to get to work. At least 30% of my 20,000 miles on my PCX and 22,000 miles on the CBR250R is in the pouring rain. If I didn't ride in the rain, I might as well get rid of all my bikes. It rains and/ or snows 175 days a year in Syracuse 13066 USA.

That's awful sendler, have you ever thought of moving? Wouldn't you love riding in nicer weather? A smart guy like you has his reasons, I'm sure for not. I was just wondering. The island has been rainy more so than years back. Weather has changed all over...it does makes you think.
I won't ride in the rain. Caught in it, is one thing. To chancy for me with this bod(y). I ride when I can and carefully vs. no riding at all. We all have our baggage, that's why "I Got Luggage!" :lol:

Of course we all feel a major commitment to family which tends to keep us to our roots.

P.S. I actually enjoy riding in bad weather. It makes the connection to the Earth and the wind that we all crave as riders even more real.

Yeah whatever. I'm moving to Spain with the dog when the wife passes on.
