We had 22 or so days with rain in June. Of the 16 days which have elapsed in July we have had rainfall 11 of them. I am looking forward to things drying out a little. Unfortunately we never got the temperate spring days to ride in because it was so wet. We are going straight into summer. Oh well at least if it's not raining I can deal with the heat.

I think it might be aimed at Harley & Ducati owners, so they can feel like normal motorcyclist. Plus they can then say that they're real motorcyclists & not just fair weather weekend warriors.

I try to ride every day, today was -5C (23f), I don't know if this makes me a real rider or a nutcase

Bubba, the second... welcome to the club

bubba zanetti · July 16, 2007, 04:21:29 PM

The scary thing is, the weather forcast for tomorrow is that it's to be even colder, with snow down to 500 metres. So there might be snow in town.

manofthefield · July 16, 2007, 04:39:39 PM

What's wrong with snow?

bubba zanetti · July 16, 2007, 04:44:25 PM

There's nothing wrong with snow really, it's something we rarely see in town. The roads out of town get shut because of snow, but we don't get it in town.

I just fired up my iCal (calendar) and realized I rarely look at a calendar.

I generally commute on suzi. She generally is more fun, efficient, better tuned, and maintained than the car(s).

It's a weird feeling to bounce over the RR tracks in a car/truck instead of on suzi.

That should be "some" Harley riders. Since I got mine a few weeks ago my truck has only been out of the driveway about 4 times. Twice to take the go karts to the race track. My Harley Isn't afraid of rain!

Lack of strife in my posts recently? Guess it sucked? Must be losing my touch.

4 days of 16 hours a day and then only getting 3 hours slep last night must be affecting my judgement.

Have fun everyone ride safe tomorrw

Apologies, I'll keep that in mind for next time I slag off a brand of bike.

I ended up taking the car today, as we got a dusting of snow last night & I'm scared of the ice.

Ha ha ha... Last year I said I was gonna drive on "Ride to Work day." I crack myself up...

manofthefield · July 17, 2007, 05:54:33 PM

Hmm... I've got two interviews tomorrow, I don't think I want to ride around with my suit on... and I don't think they'd appreciate me arriving all sweaty from wearing gear. I'll just make up for it by riding as much as possible when I get a job
