    Figurers the day I ride to work....

    It rains and all my shit gets wet I left my helmet on the peg upside down and my jacket and gloves on the seat. We got a quick 15 minute downpoor and by the time i realized it was raining, it had stopped. Needless to say the sun came out and the roads dried up before it was time to go home but the helmet, jacket and gloves were not

    I haven't ridden to work in a long time now as i've had a company truck for quite some time, it was a old beat up1988 GMC with almost 300K miles on it and ran great... They decided to sell that reliable old truck and replace it with a 2001 Ford F150. I've had it for a week and it broke down already. I've been driving for 15 years and have never been stuck on the side of the road (I always drive/own GM) until I get in a fucken ford POS

    The change in luck seems to coincide more with orange than with blue.

    And who you calling a squid, ChR1s I had my gear on... well most of it Though I was working near the Westerly beaches

    DD, I did hear a chance of rain but I had no choice but to ride, it was my only transportation that was at my house. I was in and out of the building every hour or so, the clouds came in, did their thing and left in the hour i was inside

    Yeah, we all knew it was gonna rain today

    I have an 03' F150 and the thing has been the best vehicle I've had to date, not one problem. My sister has one too and she loves it. We're about to trade them in for new ones (converting to company trucks since we use them for the business exclusively now, not because I don't like mine anymore). I'm surprised you already had trouble with yours...

    even more of a reason not to leave your gear on the bike

    Hey, you just called me Muffin

    Want more to the Ford story? Talk about customer service
    The truck got towed to the dealer, Baily Ford in East Greenwich, they checked it out today and said nothing was wrong with it and they had no idea why it stalls/ revs up on it's own and bucks going down the highway. Kinda funny, their service sucks worse than their trucks
