So Who Rode in Today?

By popular request - bump.

Anyone riding through these atmospheric rivers, bomb cyclones, pineapple expresses?

I have been staying warm and dry, but look forward to riding next week.
 
Not for me, though I have been getting out between storms in the SC hills to check out the damage. Those crews do an amazing job of road clearing. Lots of down trees etc and road debris. Fun riding !
 
I did go out couple of hours last weekend around Santa Clara (Summit Rd). Road was closed technically but for residents. Road crew were cleaning stuff out here and there but still cars would not be able to pass there. Was fun as there was no traffic and was off-roading on the steets as there were a bunch of water pools, mud and also it was pretty with a lot of water falls on the side of the roads.
Weekend before that went around sonoma county and situation was more or less the same with roads blocked. Hopefully once the weather gets better will be nicer to ride but not sure how busy will these roads be. (As i'm new to the area)
PS: I did come across few motorcycles (dirt bikes) and bikes while i was on road.

Was hoping to got play in the mess on the DRZ this weekend but it looks like I'll be waiting on parts until next week. Bummer.
 
Road in yesterday to the office in Scotts Valley. No issues and managed to miss most of the deluge. Only hit rain in the morning over hwy 17 and then left late enough in the evening that the rain had stopped. Hwy 17 was still wet but 85 and 101 were mostly dry.

What parts? Whuh huppened??
(the info is probably in another thread, I didn't see it)
 
Naw I didn't post about it because it's silly. I rounded one nut while getting the rear sprocket off, the chain came with a clip style master which I don't prefer and the lockwasher for the front sprocket nut is a little too worn to reuse. Two of those things arrive today, the other one won't make it until Tuesday. I suppose I could reuse the lockwasher for the weekend.
 
Gotcha. I'm glad it's minor stuff.
I'm looking forward to more of your epic ride reports. :thumbup
 
Been riding through it all, though my commute is pretty tame. Leave early, slow down and enjoy the fact that we don't get weather like this as often as other regions.
 
Rode through SF in the pouring rain in my Aerostich. Realized when I got to work that I'd left my laptop at home so had to go back and then in again. Parked near work to find a slash in my seat, so the foam had gotten soaking wet...

Still, a safe ride, so it's all good.
 
I'm across the dumbarton everyday. None of the rain or wind has been anything to write home about, other than the fact that it's just been day after day after day. Definitely stressing the capability of my pinlock though.
 
The weather was nice today, but nobody was riding. 105 miles round trip and the only other bike I saw was CHP. That sort of thing only used to happen on rain days.

Were any of you moto commuting? Has the traffic improved enough that people who used to ride now drive? There were plenty of slow places, but driving seemed like it might be doable today. it didn't used to.

My 1st commute of the year. I hope it doesn't become a habit again.

Traffic this week has been pretty heavy on my route, much heavier than even before the rains.
 
I saw a lot of bikes out and about in SF yesterday. I was wishing I was one of them. Today I hope to be.
 
Barely drizzling after 10, so no problema :ride
 
In the Aerostich today. First time in the rain this year. Big wet crotch leak....
