    We go on flood watch at least a couple times a week for the past month... It's fine You just break the rain gear out and keep on trucking!

        Not raining your way? We are getting soaked here in VT... Hope it clears out. Love to go for a spin today.

          It has been on and off for the past couple of months.
          Sometimes I get caught in it sometimes not.
          You just cannot tell when it is going too.
          The mountains split it off unpredictably.
          As long as the tires are good no concerns with rain.
          The overcast skies make it a nice ride even geared up considering it is summer.

            Raining here but still the "brick" was beckoning me out this afternoon. Didn't push too hard since I need about 100 miles to "bond" and get to know my bikes. The Metzlers held well and the fairing kept most of me dry for the hour loop.

              Please don't be offended by my question Lurch, but are Metzlers any kind of a tire to put on a bias ply sport bike?
              Just asking because I know they were OEM equipment on some early 90s sport bikes.
              Haven't they been outmoded by the Bridgestone BT45, and others?
              Just asking because I only see BMW owners reviewing them online.

                    Got out a few nights this week after 8 pm when all the NW folks are sunburned and sitting at home with the A/C on if they have one. Perfect temp 67-75 and no one driving for the most part. Been near 80 almost every day this past month, unusual for around here.
                    GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

                      The Metzler's were on the bike and fairly new with low miles so I will run them till they wear out. The Lasertec front and Marathon rear are not radials but ride nice enough and stick good in the rain. I know of BMW owners who only mount Michelin tires, but haven't seen any with Bridgestone. The Metzler aren't an outdated tire design like the stuff people put on the 70's Japanese bikes for vintage reasons. If the Metzlers wear out before I tire (no pun) of the bike and sell it, I'll look and see what's out there to match up.

                        Rob and I got out for a little ride up to Sooke for a test ride before our trip next week. Bike ran great and I think I will take the 81 1100... Life is good indeed!!

                          Took the 850 out for a short blast, need to rebuild the rear break, it is not backing back off. Oh well just something else to do.

                                Very cool. Be a good friend to Rob and make sure to talk him out of all this marriage nonsense. I wish someone had done it for me!
