I have done a lot of riding in the rain, only because I have always used a motorcycle to get back and forth to work. I got a better parking spot at work with the bike and I could get through the grid lock easier, coming and going to the plant.
Never thought it was something to brag about.

Hey neonhomer,

Not trying to sell Goldwings here but I have been looking, $17000. gets a new 08 model with premium audio, $20,000. gets you a new one with the audio, built in navigation, heated seats and grips and ABS. I wish Harley would drop the price to be more competetive.

Coming back from Centralia PA, we past a wing getting on 476. We were cruising 75-80 and he caught us pretty quick and hung behind us for about 10 miles and finally decided to dust us off. About another 10 miles the sky opened up and I guess we were not as bright as him and didn't slow down as much and caught back up. I can tell yeah, It wasn't melting!

I`ve ridden in a lot of rain and never had any problem. With that being said, it is not one of my favorite things !
