Time to stop?

When it hasn't rained in awhile the roads are very slippery.
I'm not afraid of a little rain. I grew up in NE Ohio.
I don't mind the 340 days of sunshine here though.

I dont mind the rain if im not headed to work. If im on the way home or just out for a ride and it starts, let it pour i dont care. Hell, this past summer on the 3rd of July, my stepdad and I set out for Booneville Ky around 6pm. We were meeting up with Mike Riddle the next morning in Slade, and he was gonna ride with us down to Booneville so my stepdad could visit his grandparent grave site and clean it up, as no one had been there in 20 years. We left Dayton, got to Cincy and the skies opened up. We only stopped once because it was raining so hard you couldnt see 10 feet in front of you, and I75 was not shedding the water fast enough to keep up. It was a lake, and the lack of vision and that combined made us think about hydroplaning, so we stopped under a bridge for a bit untill it let up. It let up enough, and we rode in the rain for 200ish miles in the dark. Then the next morning, Mike showed up at the motel, and we set out in the rain again. It rained all day, letting up just as we got to my stepdads grandparent cemetary. It stopped long enough, then when we left, it started again. Hard. We kept going thinking the weekend was a bust for me and Mike as far as hitting some twisties. Then, right about the time we hit Natural Bridge, the sun came out, and within an hour the roads were dry, just in time for us to hit one of the most fun roads in the Red River area, KY77 near the Nada tunnel!

Anyway, it was a mostly wet weekend, and the longest Id ever gone in the rain. Its weird, when you adopt the attitude of "screw it" and ride, its not as bad as you think it would have been to begin with. Its actually kinda fun to ride in the rain sometimes, really.

Damn city driving makes it NOT fun in the rain. Today I woke up feeling lazy and running late. I decided right off the bat I wasn't gonna take the bike, a chill in my bones stamped my decision... But once I got outside i realized it felt warmer outside then inside. DAMMIT! oh well, took the cage in cause I was late, tired and really need to get some proper warm riding gear.

supposed to be going up to 70 on Friday!
