    Rats, that's when working from home sucks. I am looking for a break in the rain to ride out to check my boat (which didn't go into the water, due to all the docks being submerged.

    Dang, forgot about that. Maybe I'll run home at lunch and get her out.

    I wonder how many people will never make it to work today because they just kept riding.

    Hah! I know the feeling. I have had a couple lunch break rides turn into 2 hours deals, thankfully I have a flexible schedule.

    Dang! I ride my bike to work almost everyday but I had to take my chainsaw in for repairs today. Took the car.

    Vacation day today. On and off rain and plenty of farm chores to do. Will make up for it with extra frivolous riding around.

    Not with today's weather. I took the truck into work. I am looking out the office window as I type and it is a steady downpour, with plenty of lighting. However, I ride to work every day when it is decent.

    I rode by XS1100 to work today so that I could get the safety done and get it registered.

    I'm on vacation. It'd be pointless to ride to work today. I did ride to the parts store to pick up a bearing though.

    Good idea!
    Might be a little harder with my saw.
    Its a Stihl MS360 with a 22" bar.
    A bit bigger and heavier. Besides my maxim isnt all plastic. Dont want any scratches. :)
    That being said its amazing what I have lugged home on this bike.
    A pair of truck leaf springs and a set of steel rims comes to mind.

    I ride everyday. My Harley is my main mode of transportation. 45mpg vs. the 16-12mpg I get from my beater Dodge 4x4. Hopefully someday my XJ will top that!
