Yeah at first I took it off to get a new front tire put on. And I didnt feel like going home and building anything, I wanted to ride it. I had full intentions of putting it back on because all the elders were shouting NO! from the mountain tops.
After riding it a bit without it, and holding the fender up to it, I couldnt put it back on.
Even with a fender, I still avoid riding in the rain. I dont have as much fun when its wet out. So now when I get caught it the rain it just sucks a bit more than it did anyway.
Either way, I refuse to let a cosmetic change affect my riding habits. I dont say to myself "oh well its gonna rain and I dont have a fender so screw it."
I'll let the rain catch me if it wants.
