Yeah, I got caught in the rain for the first time today, lots of spots to polish out. My wife thinks I am too anal about keeping my bike clean...is there such a thing?
Ride like you mean it.

I've been called anal, obsessive, a clean freak, and whole lot of other descriptions by my family at times but it still doesn't change the fact I just like my machines looking nice. I'm sure we're not alone Jerry judging by the immaculate condition of most of our readers bikes on display in this forum.

Riding one in the wet is a good excuse to get in there and get freaky with a rag and cleaner.
(If those are the worst name ya been called you got it good.)( I got called a human the other day......)
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

We had a foot of snow last week.
It's raining right now.
Nevermind the bikes, I'm inflating a rubber raft, just in case. I swear I just saw an old bearded dude leading a bunch of animals down the street. They were in pairs. That was odd.
