ReconRat Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Dammit, I just looked at the radar, for what's up for tomorrow.Mass quantities of rain headed this way. I'm getting tired of rain, more rain, and then rain again. I swear this is way more than normal, or just unlucky to get central Ohio hit over and over. But from the looks of it, Cleveland, Dayton, and Cincinnati have not been spared either.And I'll ride in rain if I can possible get to work somewhat dry. I don't care if I get wet going home. Just not happening the last two weeks. And it still looks like rain for a few more days. A lot of rain.rant on/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I feel ya man, cant stand all the wind that we've had along with the rain - seems we cant catch a week stretch of decent weather just a day here and there......breaks a comin' though, I can smell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetsh Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Youngstown has had maybe 5 dry days in the past 30 days.. shit sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I have been riding on days that the weather has said rain, they have been the sunniest and the most windy. The past few weeks the weather has been predicted as just rain every day. I figure I will just play it by ear and ride for a couple hours in the evening if I get the chance and its nice. I just want it to say it will be nice for a change instead of the gambles. I don't care if I get wet, its when it pours and it becomes unsafe is what I don't want to get in the middle of. I saw a guy go down on the freeway in pouring rain just because he hit a normal bump in the road and lost traction...don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Dropping your tire pressure 7 or 8 lbs helps giving a bit wider footprint on the road, within a reasonable speed that is.....and only temporarily - just remember to pump them back up when its dry though;);) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was the first time I've been able to mow the yard. THAT was a chore, even on the rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garvinzoom Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I will ride in the rain, the rain with high winds is what keeps me in the car. My wife bought me rain gear so I can stay dry. Looks wet out but heading to Hebron on the bike, all the Harley guys at work get freaked out...lol. I guess if I had to polish 3 tons of chrome I would not ride either.

ReconRat Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 So the very large rain storm stalled out, didn't arrive during the day, and is just now getting here. I could have rode to work in a light drizzle this morning, had I known...You know you live in Ohio, when a light drizzle is attractive to ride in.

Jst2fst Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I just got back in from a little ride in the rain. First time actually caught in in it though. Need to get my riding pants soon so I'm not freaking cold riding in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 The summer droughts are all my fault since I choose to not wash my car. If I'd wash my car, it would rain. I got nothin' to do with all this rain, though. Makes me sleepy. And grumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew95gt Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 If we all use our minds together we can become cloud bursters , how fucking awwesome would that be.Love that movie...Jedi Warrior!!!This rain is getting a bit out of hand...not only that but the few nice days we have had lately I have been stuck working and/or watching the kids...neither of which is conducive to a good day of riding. Bring on a dry spell already!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc32-0 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Anyone that commutes by bike has to be getting a little tired of this rain.I'm making it about four days a week,but usually it's raining to hard in the morning one day a week.I'm like ReconRat,I don't mind getting wet going home,but I hate getting too wet in the morning.

ReconRat Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Mucho riders on road tomorrow morning. I don't care if it's a bit cold. No rain, mostly dry.Watch out for silt sand dirt debris on road from all the water.edit: ok ok, 33% chance of .03"-.04" rain between 11am and 5pm on Weds. Might max at 2 hours.Temps 39F to 56F. Winds N to NW 5 to 9mph. Gusts 8 to 14. Minimal rain should be in the form of thunderstorms somewhere.Cold for May...
