jerben Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Work 3rd shift and rode the bike in at 11 PM because there was only a 10% chance of rain at 7 AM when I am off, yet now there's an 85 % chance. WTF??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerben Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I like the super soaker idea the best. Give him a taste of his own medicine! Ha! Made it home in one piece between downpours. Not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Meh. I don't get upset over riding home in the rain so much, I do not like riding in to work in the rain though. If I'm gonna get rained on, I want to be headed to where I can change clothes, and clean up easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 This is reason #4 on the list of why to wear all the gear all the time and to be sure your bike is in perfect condition. In this state you never know when you will be riding home in a thunderstorm. I've already been caught in two storms so far this season, certainly not by design but it does happen.

jerben Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The actual getting wet part doesn't bother me all that much, it's the guy in his Lexus shaving, reading the Wall Street Journal and checking his e-mail on hos Blackberry while it's raining that bugs me.

It happens daily. Those twits and the woman with the makeup and cell phones while yelling at the youngin' in the back seat will get you also.

jessecwalters Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 yea, im not to thrilled currently.

Gadabout Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I commute in Ohio on my moto about 11 months out of the year...rain is just something that makes for a good test of your riding skills. Always be prepared. I wear a full riding suit, but always keep a secondary small rain suit for those days the weather man lies! hahahaaaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
