Make up your mind will you...

Also...does anyone actually care if a bike has been rained on? Doesn't your bike get wet when you wash it?

There are always a ton of spam ads in that section but they usually make some sense.

all my bikes have seen rain.
I try to STORE them out of the rain and elements, but I've ridden in the rain.
Hell, on Thursday I almost got caught in a tornado!

Me too... less the tornado part... Hell, on Christmas day I got caught in a torrential downpour... five months later when I removed my handlebars, I poured about 1/4 cup of water out of them. That was pretty cool.

I care a lot. And I never wash my bike with a hose and water. Did it once...never again. And my bike looks clean as fuck when I'm done.

Don't come to... well, anywhere that gets sudden changes in weather then

idk, I just can't justify paying 10K plus for something that just sits in my garage when a cloud comes out...

We get 4 inches of rain annually. Clouds are scarce here. And if I was somewhere where it rained often, my bike would still sit in the garage.

I know you get little rain there. hence the comment about moving to a place where the weather changes rapidly.

If I left my bike every time there was a chance of rain, I'd have like 50 miles on it.

A three-year-old bike with 1,633 miles and the bike only saw rain twice. Was the bike in Seattle?

Shit in MO we went from 75 degrees and sunny at 1 when i went to class to snowing hard and freezing when i got out of class at 2.

30% chance of rain today. I rode. Any higher chance I'm not riding. Not because I dont want the bike to get wet...but because I don't want to get wet.
