Tonik Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 You know gang, motorcycling is an outdoor sport. Sometimes you get wet. Reading all of this I am thinking some of you might want to take up an indoor sport...like knitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's enough on the road to keep my brain busy, much less adding pisspoor adhesion.I'd rather play my safety card and keep me and my bike fully intact. But, the weather isn't looking too bad so far. Rain forecasted at 30 some percentile, I'll chance it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I dont mind the rain riding home nearly as much as during the ride itself. Slabbing sucks no matter the conditions.And Tonik, that rocket shields canopy is the most hideous thing I've ever seen an investment in I'll hold out for a sport tourer before I'd mount a free one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm not racing Jim on those backroads, but I'd enjoy a trackday with him just to see how well he tosses that half ton scoot around. And I'm not bashing Jim in a violent manner, by any means, just some stern ribbing back at him. We aren't fair weather riders all the time, but the wife and I have ridden in enough rain this year. Caught in it several times, including 2 long rides where we got soaked for several hours.It doesn't seem to be too bad of a forecast, so it's hopefully going to stay on for Saturday.Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 last epic ride my gear took over week to dry. Gap trip it took 3 days to dry, my leathers have taken a beating this year. I cleaned them and conditioned after both rides, but they may need help from BB in Ky., they don't feel like they did before. oh, I am a girl so I am allowed to cry about the weather. It will ruin my hair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekClouser Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 All the forecasts are calling for a slight chance of rain early but it's all slight chances and the most I saw was .09 inches for the day so we are a go unless something changes.

Wolfman1 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Chance of rain has pretty much been removed for Sunday. Looks like partly cloudy everywhere with a high in the mid 60's. I have cleared my Sunday if the ride gets bumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theroamr Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm open for Sunday as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I'll make the final call tonight about 8pm - 9pm. Also, Just a random side note, if anyone wants to make a donation to the church can give me cash at the meetup. I'll be sure to meet with the lady and give the donation. Again, not required by any means, but if anyone wants to do that, they are certainly welcome to.

durk Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Forecast for my area looks like crap. If I get up and it looks good I'll be there, otherwise I'll sit this one out. I'm with Hellmutt and Dubie on this. I've had my share of rides in the rain and its not my favorite thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
