Don't ride with me then. For the third straight weekend, rode in pouring rain for a while. Don't need to wash the red hussy, just take er out on the weekend and I'll find a thunderstorm. :lol:
You're doing it wrong.
Do I need to take an umbrella with me?
I don't know, but if you keep this up...you might become disinvited from EOM. :D :D :D

Pulled a quickie ride Sunday for two BMR bonii. Have I told you guys how I LOVE riding on the sidewalk? BMR gives me plenty of excuses to use the "motorcycle entrance ramps" located at sidewalk corners!

Looked at my FJR today as I took out the garbage. The high today will be about 40 in Seattle and it is the only dry day forecast for this week. May take it out for a spin this afternoon to top the tank off with some non-ethanol fuel. What is this work thing peeps speaketh of? :D

Rode to work this morning, chilly in the 40s and foggy. Took off at lunch to run some errands and head home to work the rest of the day at home. Goodness, after a couple of weeks of gray, cold and rainy, 60s and bright sun was freaking A-mazing!

I looked at it twice, when I got in my car and when I left. In between I as in a dentist chart for 3.5 hours replacing three fillings and one cap. Despite having insurance under my wife it cost $850 out of pocket. My jaw has been sore all damn day and my wallet took a beating.

Rode for about 5 hours today.
Lake Erie still has a wee bit of ice left.
Temperatures were close to 40 at the lake and up to 57 inland.

Mounted RAM hardware on the break reservoir to use my phone as a GPS - a back up to the Garmin 590.

Hobbled by it on crutches :zombwobb: on the way to work in a car. :(

Surgery to fix stretched ligaments/bone spurs/arthritis in left ankle happened January 23rd and it will be at least April 23rd before I can even think about riding again. Now I know how you northerners feel all winter long with PMS. :lol:
