Not at all, we only get about 7" of rain a year, so I'm happy to get as much as we can. We got dumped on this morning in my area.

Unless the weather improves tomorrow, this might have been my last chance to ride for awhile. I am having surgery on my right eye on Tuesday.

Just bought the wife a Spyder. It's her first bike and she's doing fantastic with it. Yesterday was her first group ride, about 200 miles total. Today, it was just she and I. Met my folks in Tampa then completed another 100 miles. Two trips over the Skyway bridge yesterday, just nearly missing a jumper by a few minutes, and one trip over the Skyway today with a stop at the Coast Guard Cutter Blackthorn Memorial. We can't wait for the cooler weather to show up

Rode 9 miles and got the vaq into storage today. With my back so messed up this year, got 30 miles over last 5 months and probably didn't break 300 for season. Just gonna pretend this year didn't happen....

Only positive is my truck now fits in the garage!

I am reviving this thread since Spring is in the air here. I have been lucky enough to ride a hundred or so miles a couple of times in the last week and weekends. Today the weather finally cleared and I was able to ride to work and back! I have a 70 mile run planned to the Alabama/Mississippi line this weekend for a 3 day rally plus some riding around the countryside there. I post pics here every year. Ride safe!

Rode the 17 miles to work yesterday and took the Long way home. About 90 miles out of the way. All in all a great ride and happy to get out. Straight home today though. Too much to do.

Rode 17 miles to work this morning. It was in the low 40's in my neck of the woods, the ride home should be in the 80's though.
