The weather looks iffy. What do the organizers do if it rains?

Iffy - as in - If it rains, we get wet. Wont be the first time. It may dampen the roads but it doesn't dampen the Solvang Show Spirit.

You do know where the cockpit drain valve is, right?

I hope your weather guy is more accurate than weather.com's weather guy.

Hey, it's April yet sunny and 74 in Seattle right now with sun predicted for all week, which means the weather anywhere is anyone's guess.

The only fer shure thang is that there'll be a ton-o-roadsters and a bunch of folks with big grins in Solvang this weekend.

Maybe next year....

Ummm....move up here and say that after several months of 30-40 degree rain. Then there's the smell of mildewing carpet...

Here's a hint, it's even better with working wipers.

If you don't have wipers, at least try some Rain-X I did a stint a few weeks back with no wipers, and it wasn't too bad, though it wasn't raining much either. Now I hoping for no rain, because I have a good size rip in my top, over the significant other. While she is a pretty good sport, there is a limit.

As for weather, Accuweather seems to always show sunshine, whereas weatherchannel.com seems to be the doom and gloom of weather sites. I usually use wunderground.com, they have always done best by me, and this winter we did a 2nd story addition over living space, not a drop of water got inside the house, thanks to wunderground and alot of plastic. They are showing clear skies starting Friday.

I have found in the past that once you get above 50 mph, you dont get very wet in the low windshield even if its raining pretty good. Just find a gas station with a cover for the occassional pitstop. The tall windshields should be even better

. I am personally more concerned about the lack of traction with the summer tires. I am even more concerned that I am taller than my top and wider (in the shoulders?) than my driver space with the windows up.
