the winds that blew thru here last nite weren't as bad as predicted. Matter of fact, the storm blew thru earlier than was first thought. That was good. I only had to commute in moderate to heavy rain and lots of vivid lightning. I don't worry about the lightning too much. All I can do is say a prayer of thanks (I really do). If I get hit, I get hit. Nothing we can do about it other than just don't ride in it. But I took my chances. The only thing that really stops me from riding in is the wind. My limit is 45mph. If it's expecting to be over 45 or 50, and depending on if its a headwind or tailwind, I'll drive in. And that's happened only once the last 12 months.
