Duly noting the ominous predictions of thunderstorms I configured the rain bike last night. Full windshield and fairing, vinyl scale top/back cover, the works. Then added the lights, brakes, and old wheels but I didn't bother with the brake lights and rear view display. I took it out a couple of times in the rain last night for a shake-out, adjusting the body so that steering is unencumbered. (If you've ever had the steering stick on a quarter turn while attempting a sharp slow turn, you know that's not pleasant. Especially in gusty wind and driving rain.)

After all that, not a drop of rain this morning. The radar doesn't look all that threatening for this evening either. I guess I'll look at the bright side - it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
