ok so I'm at work right now. It was very nice and sunny yesterday, so I decide to ride to work today because it was supposed to be about the same. It was pretty nice all day until now. It is about 3 and now it just started pouring down rain and hailing! :mad: Damnit! So hopefully in the next hour and a half it kinda drys up. What awsome weather people we have!!!

EDIT: Ok, now 5 minutes later and it stopped raining! But the ground is soaked. Weather is dumb.....

LOL- ya that happens.  Best advice wait until the storm is over or until it has calmed down a bit.  You can ride in the rain just slow down and be extra careful!!!!   :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I've ridden in hail before. I got nailed in the hand by a pretty big chunk and it bruised my finger pretty badly. I got 4 blocks before I had to pull over. Thankfully the random driveway I pulled into had nice people that let me park my bike in their garage. How awesome is that??

Porche - did you bring your raingear?  Did you check Yahoo weather?
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

I check 2 local weather stations and weather.com. They all showed sun. Anyway the gear I have right now it all weatherproof stuff so it didn't really matter. By the time I was off it had dried up.  So I made it home just fine.
