This has got to be the RAINIEST summer I can remember :ohmy: ( and I am OLD ,so can remember a LOT of them LOL!)
Have barely ridden this year, snuck out for a ride yesterday and lo and behold thought at any minute was gonna get soaked, stopped at a stop sign on a back country road, roads were still wet from previous rains, musta been oily at the spot where I stopped.... cause I gently took off and the rear end of my '75 Z1-B 900 swung around to my right like I was some young hot rodder!! :woohoo: :silly: CRAZY!! :( Sigh ! :( Got about 60 miles in then came home.
Maybe RAIN will slow down soon.

I second zukdave...send that stuff here...my lawn is already doing the summer die-off (which is actually sort of OK as I don't have to mow a dead lawn).

Our garden is done for the year :( ...except for the okra and eggplant, which like it really hot and dry.

I have to agree its been pretty wet here so far in Southern Ontario, it seem like its raining every week.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
