    Here in NE Boston,Main NH we got basically entire June raining every day:confused:

    I live in Medford Boston metro area and I have been riding everyday rain and no rain.I can tell you that my 98 VFR is holding up real well in the rain.I slow down enough but not too much.Perhaps credit goes to Pilot Sports tires.Anyway my VFR passed the rain test:thumbsup:[​IMG]

    Yeah the rain is killing me too but I haven't driven my car in six weeks- I've put 5000 miles on my '99 already this year.
    Special thanks to Joe Rocket Ballistic pants.
    I was lucky I had taken last Wednesday off and I think it was the only sunny day in the last three weeks.
    Supposedly it'll clear up tomorrow..man I sure hope so.

    On the road Sunday night

    Risked life and limb coming home on Sunday night.
    Rain started and stopped all the way across Catskills region.
    At night. Got home at 2AM mainly because I was driving 35 mph for 200 miles.
    Couldn't stay at home, though.
    Sick of rain, and the mud on my cycle:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
    People tell me this is a little high, even for NE.

    We've officially had rain 22 of 24 days in (northern) New Jersey this month. But its supposed to be clearing up over the next few days. Of course, that means we're going to see 90 degrees and a humidity to match. Oh joy. I think I almost prefer the rain...

    So sick of this. It was nice to have an early spring but this rain has got to end. I'm hoping and praying it clears up soon. I've got some track days coming in Aug & it'll suck if its in the wet.

    Serious rains today.Flood warning all over Boston Metro and MA west.Cap Cod is a disaster area.Too bad for all the folks who shelled out lot of money to rent those cabins.It looks like summer is over for us here :( I don't remember how sun looks like anymore.
    Last 2 months we probably had no more then 3 sunny days...
    If my wife did not object moving I rather relocate sunnier drier state like New Mexico,Arizona even Costa Rico

    I haven't ridden my bike for nearly 2 weeks. It really sucks.

    Giant Low pressure system over Ontario needs to get a move on.
