To me, 50% chance of rain means either it'll rain or it won't.  Isn't that how it is everyday?  I think it's fine.  It's fine, right?   Yeah, I'm always riding when it's 50%...

What I wouldn't give for only 50% chance of rain. I'm gonna get wet today and tomorrow.  The joys of living in Vic-bloody-toria. At least I'll get to see how the new tyres go in the wet.

Looks like a wet day in Sydney today too. Just for a change.

50/50, its a fighting chance. laughingdp
 In Melbourne the only way to judge the weather is to look out the window. Weather recently went from 15°C to 29°C to 12°C in 48 hours.
Bring on El Nino!

In your part of Vic it rains nine months of the year and the water drips from the leaves the other three. Grin

It's a ploy we use here to avoid litigation from disgruntled, wet motorcycle riders.
I have today off so I'm venturing out, it won't rain cos I tend to be lucky there.   waytogo

Correct  waytogo

Didn't get wet at all riding into Melb yesterday.  Dry all the way back as far as Halls Gap today (blue sky and sunshine at Ararat  Shocked) but cold and very wet for the last 90kms  Cry

Well at least I got to see how my new Contis perform in the wet.  Dolph

I would have dumped my post processing to have gone for a ride.
