I've ridden in more rain than I care to think about. I would rather not but it's no big deal as long as I have my rain suit. Now wind, oh I hate wind.

I guess I am then.. Won't deal with the rain and since I have a truck don't need to risk slipping on the road with my bike. I can deal with the wind but not rain, ice, sleet..fair weather here..

I don't know what a fair weather rider is, but I've been stupid enough to try to ride in the snow.&nbsp\\; That's an unecessary risk.&nbsp\\; Might have well been on a minibike.

I won't start out from home in the rain, but if it rains while I am out I ride in it.&nbsp\\;

me too. if it happens while i am out, so be it, but to leave the house while it's raining,&nbsp\\;just doesn't make much sense, when I have a truck.
&nbsp\\;
I have ridden year round before(chicago) But now I don't want the salt eating up my bike.&nbsp\\;

I am getting too old for that crap. Gots me a truck. The days of riding in all conditions are gone for me. I do have some real memories though.
