Go out and ride.  Neither you or the bike will melt.
Seriously though..you've gotta be a gahdamn pansy azz if you can't get some ride time in!  Roll Eyes

It's just that they are envious...  Then again I did ride in the rain on Tues and the Jack tasted good Smiley 

I have to admit it was more fun taking my FJ for a spin and splashing all the $100k lowered MerBeemers that got stuck in the rain.  That more than made up for not being able to ride

I have tried to ride in rain like this before. It didn't turn out too well. Road was REALLY slippery and I couldn't see the paint. The engine also flooded and died out on me once.  Embarrassed

D*mn..the rain hit us hard in PHX tonight!  Just made it home from work on the bike before the big storm rolled in.  A little while later, we got caught in Target when the electricity went out.  Holy pitch black!!  Had fun hydroplaning all the way home.

I would welcome some cool riding weather with 105 F and 90% humidity on the East coast of OZ ,
most riders you see around here turn to squids with shorts and T's ,
makes the beer  at the end of the ride chug taste good though  laughingdp
