since I have been working on my cars and they are in pieces at the time, I use my bike as a daily driver. or rider lol. anyways it always happens that a sunny day turns to rain. I get sick of getting off work and getting onto a wet cold bike. so today I pulled the bike in the back of the wharehouse right before it started raining. ofcourse the girls that work with me scoff but whatever, no big deal. its funny because I work for a "higher class" design consulting furniture as a design consultant. well here is the pic , it explains it all. I found it fun!
the pics on my camera phone are decent.

this last picture is of the bike when i got off work ready to hit the wet roads.
I really hate riding in the rain , sucks!
Luckily, bike manufacturers make bikes that will tolerate year-round weather. Our's are no exception (however, I do know that Yamaha extensively tests their bikes in an enclosed room with water being sprayed at the bikes, even from the rear).
