2012 Rice O Rama

[Dr.n2o]

Thing is....if there's even a slight chance of rain many show bikes won't come and a good percentage of spectators too......need an "abundant amount of sunshine" (as the Weather Channel likes to say from time to time) to get max attendance...............

Would love to try to meet you guys up at Kmart in Palmer (only if blue light special is happening :biglaugh. If the weather looks good i'm gonna take off out of Hartford early, get breakfast and coffee and burn up there. V-four is in Vernon so we could just shoot up rte 32 through Monson..........John

32 through monson is a nice ride, let me know when you think you'll be going through stafford(where v four got his bike) and maybe I'll run out and ride back with you guys.

Weather is not looking to good right now hope it changes. Looks like a washout.

That would be awesome. I'll get in youch with you and hope it's not a wash out before then. I have no prob riding in the rain but my k&n's do....let's keep the ol' fingers crossed boys.

Fingers crossed here, I dont "like" riding in the rain:bang head:, but it is a good time to practice controlled burnouts :biglaugh:

Let's hope that these meteorologists are wrong again. They are wrong 70% of the time right lol

 

[Dr.n2o]

Lot of spin off from the hurricane so we'll see

 

[RaWarrior]

There's only a 30% chance of "few showers". Which I guess is just enough to scare off many of the "never-seen-rain" show bikes and a lot of the casual fair weather spectators.

I might be going with a couple of my buddies, have to wait and see on the weather.

Sunday

77 | 48 ?F
Chance of Rain 30% chance of precipitation

This is the Weather Channel's forecast. The local TV weather forecasts are much more optimistic.......we'll see.....

 

[95spfldmax]

If this thing happens I had to modify my intended route to go around Brimfield which is having their Antique Fair this weekend also. Sucks trying to go through that traffic jam with just a bike or two nevermind several.
