    Victim!

    Holy crap, what a week for commuting. Tues night at around 9pm I get on the bike and ride into the heaviest rain I've ever seen in my life. My headlight was just reflecting back at me off of what looked like a waterfall! I follwed the tailights of a co-worker through it and she said she couldn't see me...

    Tonight it was raining and showering down lightning. When will this crap end?

    You suck at life. Why don't you quit?

    My dad told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. So I became an Asshole.

    Apologies, I think it's my fault, this weather pattern started the day I signed the paperwork for my new bike


    I'm contemplating selling it, hopefully that might help

    Re: Victim!

    I agree. I think about 15 of the last 20 times I've been on my bike I've gotten wet.

    Re: Victim!

    I got caught in that torrential downpour with my wife on the back on august 7th. I couldn't see anything. The only thing that kept me on rt 2 was the white lines they just finished painting a few weeks before. When I finally got to an exit with a gas station My wife called her sister to come pick here up. The rain stopped but I wasn't going to take a chance, and man was I right, as soon as I pulled away it was like a bucket of water dumped on me. It sucked, but I made it home safe which is all that matters. I want to call the weather station and find out how to become a weatherman. my forecast would be 50% chance of rain 25% of snow/sleet and 25% chance it'll be sunny. every day. I can't be wrong. anyways yea this summer has sucked badly.
