Cool Its cold and raining

So im sitting at the computer ordering some accessories for my f4i.

Had to get a battery ( that fits ).
Frame Sliders
Bar ends
Tank pad
Rim stripes

And looking at getting a trip tree cover, my triple tree isnt scratches or anything but i like the carbon fiber looking one. Prolly tomorow going to order my windscreen (smoked) and windscreen bolts, dont know what color yet though.

Going to change my oil/filter tomorow as well as clean and lube my chain. Rain is supposed to stop by noon and i'll be able to get out and about for a while.

maybe the cbr gods sent some wet stuff to remind you about all the cool new chit you needed to get for the bike!!!!

It's Hot & raining here, humidity is up around the 85% & in the mid 30c's (mid 90F's to you guys) The type of weather that drives you nuts, one minute sun shining & then its raining, stopped by the time you think about putting the rain gear on. Then suns out & water vapor steaming up off the road. Wishing it would either stay sunny or p*ss down & get it over with. Give us a couple of months & probably start on about the chill factor

idk man here there is snow/salt on the ground and its below freezing people dont ride this time of year, there is no traction in snow for a street bike plus you will get frost bite... spring is in another month or so thats when the great New England weather comes its awesome

Err... Ya, they're only expecting 12-20 inches of snow to fall and accumulate in a 24 hr period. Nothing that won't stop a motorcycle

In the situation you guys are weather wise i would:
Trailer up the bike,slip security $50 ,ride around an underground carpark or shopping mall,there is always a way to ride..........
