Apparently there is a 20% chance of rain here today...although there is not a cloud in the sky.

My bike was always stored under some sort of cover (didn't have a garage at my last apt) but I if I wanted to ride... I couldn't pick and choose my weather... 40*+ I was riding... maybe a little diffrent now that I know I won't be deploying for the summer... but I actually enjoyed riding in the rain.

cleaning the bike was a bitch... but kinda enjoyed that too...

And cleaning a soaked bike sucks balls. That dirty water gets EVERYWHERE.

As long as I can make it TO work dry, it's not bad. I can deal with riding home in the rain...

so do you not wash your bike at all anymore or do you just use some spray on/wipe off polish stuff?

Quick detailer, then polish. I use goo gone for the hard stuff that won't come of with the quick detailer. I've never washed my bike with soap and water, my old bike I did once. Waste of time.
