Mom, there's nothing wrong with you at all! There's something wrong with me though. I often choose to ride to work even though I have a work vehicle with petrol paid for

Yeah, and took a pic of a beautiful rainbow! Oh, by the way, I was very much mistaken...Looked out the window this morning?....
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

Love that onramp! Especially zooming past the lines of traffic waiting for the ramp signals (though not this morning). If I tried to knee-down ever, it would be there. Need better wet tyres, though...Best part is probably the onramp though, pity the tyres are never warm enough for it, nor the surface a comfortable kind of dry. Managed to bang 110 out of it saturday morning though
Was absolutely pissing down at 6am when I went in to work... Couldn't agree with you more!I hear ya.... southerlies, rain and hail on my way in on the piddly lil FXR this morn. Loved every minute of it!

At one point in my rather nomadic life I lived about 500 metres from the Fire station where I worked. Despite the fact that I could have crawled to work in my PJs, I kitted up and road to work every day, rain or shine. I wasn't gonna let the convenience of living close to work spoil the joy I had riding there! quite often the ride was the highlight of my day.
Strangely the commute home often took an hour or two, bloody traffic
Oh bugger

The Russians have an apt saying.
"There is no such thing as bad weather there is only bad clothes"
which applies to many activities, skiing, scuba diving (in the UK), being Borat.
I agree, nothing abnormal in the OP, every ride lifts the spirits. If it doesn't get back into the car withe the radio and a coffee. Ppah! no chance

It is genuinely perplexing why people park their bike for winter.
Shitty, raining days are some of the best possible. The traffic can be far worse in winter, when the kiwi driver is incapable of coping with a spot of water on the roads or their windscreen.
You get to refine smooth riding skills, arrive at your destination dryer than those who take the car "to stay dry" and then get drenched in the 30second walk to their building.

That contradiction in terms is known as an oxymoron!
When it is wet I am glad to not be in a car commuting around Auckland - the traffic f'n sucks when it's wet!
Wet weather = overpants & overgloves + lane-splitting passed all the cars that are barely moving! I find that it is only wet on the other side of my gear - not a big problem.

Thursday cant come around fast enough....Yep...cloudless and perfect!

Ours has just been resprayed at no cost (thanks to a truck and some loose rocks) and looks like it did the day we bought it.
The wind gusts and squally rain here today is an arse, supposed to die away this afternoon, hope so anyway for Annes sake. Rain I can do, wind I can do, but put them both together and its a different story
One hell of a ride.
>>There must be something wrong with me<<
