got about 60 miles in yesterday, roads actualy werent too bad, very little sand/debris (all that rain def helped) and just the random potholes to watch in addition to brain dead drivers.

Weathers going to get a bit crummy again here. I need to finish the steering bearrings on the futura and swap a rearset, then get the bike inspected. The buell will need fresh oil once I start riding it regualrly, then its time to enjoy the high gas prices.

I've ridden a very small amount so far. It seems that I'm always unavailable on the nice days, but when I have free time, the weather sucks donkey balls.

It's not the bike, it's my pansy ass that isn't a fan of riding when it's below 50.

Yea, but it was pretty cool up until the suck.

If I ever have to ride in the rain again it'll be by absolute necessity only. That lil' episode completely changed what I thought I knew about riding in bad weather.

Remember tho, it wasn't the rain. The wall of water we went through was not was got us. In the end, it was the road. To this day, I'm pretty sure the reason I stayed up and you went down was because you had a bailing passenger.
