Who of you guys rides in this weather ?

[MXNUT]

I did today, not yesterday though. Turns out today was worse than yesterday me thinks!!

I think tommorow was better than today,but yesterday was better than tommorow so i will stick with today

Whats the point in riding in the rain? Its not fun. So I don't do it. Simple.

I agree with you. But sometime, when its misty, drizzling, and freezing cold, wrap up really warm and go for a quiet ride and take the scenery in, and see something you haven't seen before.

Take equal parts of beeswax and turpentine. Heat the beeswax to about 200 degree, ...

Fahrenheit or Celsius? And does it make the wind go around you too?

I think it was Wednesday night was a bit blowy on the Harbour Bridge and my bad brain started to convince me I was going to get blown over the lane 5 concrete barrier into the oncoming traffic. I fel oddly calm and accepting about it. Luckily my good brain realised that was a very good way to totally fuck up, so I switched back to concentrating on the job in hand and got home just dandy. Weird head space for a good few seconds, though.

Oh yeah I forgot: I commute on the GT whatever is going on out there (given that it doesn't snow in AKL, of course). I'd have to be really desperate to take the cage.

Will go to uni by bike always. But for work (80 km round trip) will take the one of the cages if bad weather is predicted.

I can't be assed dealing with storing wet gear etc when an alternative is available.

Used to always ride my bike no matter what.

In fact I once made a 1.5 trip from Palmy to Auckland once in pouring rain. I say 1.5 because I got to auckland okay and on the way back I highsided the fucking thing....

I just got a bike again and I'll ride in bad weather but I'm a lot more cautious now. And when I say Cautious I mean I ride like a nana... I think I might take a car to work tomorrow though. I'm not sure if I'm ready for a 140km/hr crosswind on Harbour bridge just yet... Need better tyres that's going to give me some more confidence first.

With being as it has we all have been lucky really with the weather .. UNTIL NOW . So who here thinks stuff it i will brave the elements .

I know i do it stops the dust from settling

Well! Seeing as I got my learners on a totally shite day, and on my THIRD GODDAMN TRY *Memory retention of a rock ape*, of course I rode around the whole day soaking bloody wet from my waist down!!
Cost me 50$ fuel, though
Was quite fun =)
Learned to not change up on the paint, or turn, or accelerate, decelerate etc etc...
My rear has a 'flat spot'. Some dick did a couple of burnouts on it and i'm sure that little flat-to-curve hump has something to do with accelerating around a corner.
Also learned I quite often get a false second. Goddamn it's so embarrassing
And, i'm sure it'll cost me lots of money in the near future, clutchless upshifting down to a tee
Anyway,
Smile too big on my big ugly head to worry about the weather.


Except this 'intense depression' may just induce exactly that.

Be careful this weekend/monday/tuesday/wednesday
