Venturous Randy Posted June 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2009 I have to say that I did not. To me is was "National 50% chance of rain and thunderstorms this afternoon day" and I decided to not do it. I know, I wussed out. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sling Posted June 15, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 15, 2009 Calling for here also, but yes I rode!! I normally ride everyday. Didn't notice any more bikes then usual.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YamaDuck Posted June 15, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 15, 2009 30% chance of rain today but I rode in just the same. There was 1 other motorcycle in the parking lot when I arrived. So much for standing together here where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerviperus Posted June 15, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 15, 2009 I rode my wheelchair in... does that count? Man I can't wait until I get out of this leg brace and can do some riding again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibadoe Posted June 15, 2009 Share #7 Posted June 15, 2009 Not today, was rainin' when I got up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave77459 Posted June 15, 2009 Share #8 Posted June 15, 2009 I rode but had a deadline, so it was earlier than usual. Saw one other bike. We don't have rain forecast, but we do have lotsa heat. The thought of commuting home in 95F heat might discourage some. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynodon Posted June 15, 2009 Share #11 Posted June 15, 2009 I work in my basement and garage, but when I finish my "packing and lifting" of orders, I will ride my bike to the Post Office and UPS. So yes, I will ride my bike AT work today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterGuns Posted June 15, 2009 Share #12 Posted June 15, 2009 Yes, I did ride a bike to work today; 57 miles one way. But I rode the 03 Ultra Classic today. My 86 Yamaha Venture Royale is just too clean to get dirty. So was the Hardley but I rather muck it up than the Royale. Shirt and tie even; suit coat rolled up in the trunk.

Venturous Randy Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share #14 Posted June 15, 2009 Well, the 50% chance is coming down real hard right now. The weather radar is in the red stage here. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venturous Randy Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share #16 Posted June 15, 2009 I did, and on the Venture ,you keep that 50% up on the mountain Richard, I hate to tell you this, but this one is coming south east and guess where you are from me. Yep, I hope you have your rain gear if you are going to be out. I doubt it will last long and will be better soon. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilsis Posted June 15, 2009 Share #23 Posted June 15, 2009 I rode home from work this morning. Does that count??? Saw two bike, but this was out in the country. I'll ride back to work tonight. I'm learning to ride in the rain (twice on back roads) and it's a bit different but I want to do it some more so I can feel comfortable in any weather.

YamaDuck Posted June 15, 2009 Share #24 Posted June 15, 2009 30% chance of rain today but I rode in just the same. There was 1 other motorcycle in the parking lot when I arrived. So much for standing together here where I live. Well I guess I should have been more specific. I road the Road Star today not the Venture. Venture is in the shop getting a good once over to get her ready for the 11,000 mile trip next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
