Default Rain Rain go AWAY!

Would love to have more than 410 miles on my new Fatboy at this time, but the rain here in Iowa is killing me. Mondy and Tuesday are nice, 70's, then work sends me to KC for a sales event! The most riding I have gotten in lately is taking the kids around the neighborhood on a nightly ride. Good times for the kids and I, but I want to get out and do some serious riding. Headed to Dickeyville, WI this Sunday for a hillclimb and swap meet. Can't wait! Go to http://www.wilwerts.com/ if interested and in the area.

I'm getting sick of all the rain in SW Ohio too. We have had 2 days dry then 2 or 3 days rain, then 2 days dry, then 2 or 3 days rain, etc. all month, April was a very rainy month also. I carry a bar of soap with me and some liquid soap for the bike. Not very many miles on the bike but we are clean, at least I can say that. I wonder if they make any pontoons for a '94 Ultra that are quick disconnect.

Pontoon, LOL on that one . Looks like a chilly ride this weekend, with a high of 61, but I have to get some miles on. Next week is looking warmer!!! Of course, I don't know a weatherman in our area that has been correct in the past 2 months. April showers bring more showers around here! Hope it clears up for you out there, that soap can get pricey in time!

Default Sorry for that weather

That is tuff. It has been weird here in Mich too, but we are getting some miles clocked on. The nice days have been exceptionally nice as the bad ones have been real bad. Weird but at least we can do some riding. I was watching that storm over you folks while I was east and it was quite the rain storm. Hope it mellows out for you.-ITW

ITW- you ain't a kiddin. We got 8 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. My friend is a building inspector and they have 250 houses to inspect by tomorrow. Some real nice $300k homes that he has had to condemn the past few days. Not good. He had 2 1/2 feet in his basement as well. We had a real mild winter, and I think the big guy upstairs is making up for it. I was able to get another 100 or so on her this past Saturday before the rain hit. Weekend looks nice so far, so maybe I can get at least that many more on this weekend. I'm headin out here in about 15 minutes to ride to Mom's house. Hope the rain avoided all you out east.

Take care
