Clearly this means you don't ride enough. Get out there pussy.



You're right... and it seems to get worse the more time goes on.


Not every one has covered parking while at work or at home while the bike is sitting.


I love riding in the rain. The suck is people drive worse in the rain than when the road is dry.

yeah and mist fucking SUCKS... I'll ride in the rain all day no problems... but I fucking HATE the road grime mist kicked up by cars.... shit doesn't clear off my visor well, and once you wipe, it'll never clear again properly until cleaned.

think my next glove I'll be sure have the little rubber blade on the thumb

Yeah, it's amazing how much comfort you can get from that simple little piece of plastic

Yes. We get mostly sunny weather in the summer believe it or not.
