    Just saw pics of Houston. WOW! Why do people insist on driving through water. They interviewed one guy. His reply was, "I had no idea it was so deep". His car was completely submerged! Hope anyone in the area is ok. Tom

    While living in Louisiana I came to recognize that if I left the bike at home every time rain was a threat, I would have missed out on 80% of my good rides!

    although it depends on how hard it is raining when I leave home and if my wife is riding with me. I have found over the years that it is much more pleasant when someone is not riding in the raining and giving me the business going down the road.

    Well that does not look good. But then the weather can change in a heartbeat. Hope that is the case for all the festers Indoors is still a good time when so many get together from so many places and who have been communicating but never meeting face to face.... but be safe going and returning home.

    That's why I don't look at the media weather forecasts.

    This is the most reliable predictor available...

    Riding in a few good downpours builds character. That what does not kill me, only makes me stronger

    I wish I was the vendor selling rain gear at vendor village, they are going to make a killing

    This is absolutely the BESTEST way to deal with the weather: a "Sunny" disposition!
