I'm a big old wussie! I won't ride in this weather if you paid me! We need this rain, but I do wish it would clear up so I could get in one good ride and, hopefully, I can resume my daily commute soon. The bart/car commute sucks bad.

Ugh. Two days of caging it is about driving me nuts.
Unless it's looking like the apocalypse outside, I'm riding tomorrow!

I think I am going to hang up the bad weather riding so I am searching for a used car.
I was able to work from home yesterday but I really should head into the office today.
I will try to sneak to work between rain breaks if there are any.

And you don't exactly have the best rain bike...100+ HP at the rear wheel in a lumpy, torquey mill? Ouch. |

What have you been driving that's so terrible? 1968 Ford 3/4 ton P.U. with four speed & no P.S. with lots of slop in the steering with a heater that is stuck on cold or something? Or something newer & better? |

'95 Acura Integra. The car's OK, actually it runs really well for a 15 year old car, but it's the being stuck in traffic I have no patience for anymore. I guess having a radio's nice though - it helps to distract you from the sitting in traffic part. |

Yeah that's even a bigger reason. I think if I had a more rain friendly bike I would hit the wet weather more often. |

I'm driving to San Bernardino Sunday in the 2000 Mercedes E320 making a stop in the city on the way. It has all kinds of bells & whistles to do distracting with. Maybe your Acura could use Garmin Nav system or something to help in that regard. I was rockin' the '62 ford with vacuum wipers.
Those wipers sound interesting. Do you have to double clutch too? |
