I rode today but not to work, me and my friend went on a late morning ride and then I rode to court 
But all in all it was a pretty good day.

Did everyone ride to work today?

Well, I didn't ride in today. Doom on me, I know, but I am trying to keep the miles off my bike while it is for sale.
Funny thing is, *yesterday*, in my parking garage's designated m/c parking area, there were twice the usual number of bikes. Today, there is half the norm. Damn Texas ******** must have thought yesterday was RTW Day.

To everyone bitching about riding in the rain. You paid $9-10,000 for a bike. Spend $20 on a damn rain suit!!!!!
If you ride without one and arrive home "100 pounds heavier," you're nuts.

Bro - If I can't get full traction. I mean
perfect, hot sticky traction - it's not worth
riding. I don't ride at night and I don't
ride in the rain (Well, Usually I don't
ride in the rain) Hehe.

Anyone got a rear tire I can borrow?

I gotta agree with Chris on this one---damn that hurts . There are just too many reasons not to ride in the rain. Plus, it doesn't rain all that much here...and the cagers ride stupid rain or shine which makes it all the more dangerous. I'll save the $20 rain suit for when I get caught in the rain, but if it's gonna pour all day I'll just give my baby the day off--she deserves it . Also, makes the bike a real pain to clean after riding in the rain. To each his own I guess.

Real men (and women) ride rain or shine. A partial list: Carl Fogarty (world champ), Ardys Kellerman (grandma), Miguel DuHamel, Mike Kneebone, Kenny Roberts, Ed Culberson (RIP), etc.
My advice: buy a rainsuit AND a second bike so your CBR or whatever doesn't get messed up. Ride every day. Shun cars, buses and trains. Be among the few, the proud, the lunatics, the ones with the little flecks of white foam at the corners of their mouths that everyone avoids at parties. You know, like me.

Moto--You're the 'real' man and I cower in your presence
NJF4--#3 doesn't hold water--After an accident is the safest time to ride. Same is true for airplanes, if Delta just went down, it's Delta all the way baby...
Vypir--hasn't rained here since I got the bike-so I'll have to get back to you.
