I was caught out in it today, but just for a few miles. I got home and the front of me was soaked but my backside was still dry.

Yea i think that's him right there. I didn't even have a rain suit with me, just my jeans, a tshirt and a jean vest. I finally dried off completely near the end of the ride.

Last time I got caught, it was pouring and felt good in my t-shirt. I was drenched when I got home though. i almost wanted to stay on the bike cuz it was more comfortable than getting off and going inside drenched

Hey, it's all part of motorcycling.

Rain happens, try to enjoy it when it does.

It just SUCKS when you get caught in the rain on the way to work and don't have a change of clothes. Don't ask me how I know...

That's about the only time I'll decide to take the car to work. I don't care about getting wet coming home, sometimes it's better since rain cools off those Florida summer days. Going to work though, I like to stay dry.

I like to stay dry too, but unfortunately when a car is your only means of transportation, you don't really have much of a choice. I mean, I could take my girl to work, but that would require me having to leave the house an hour earlier then normal (6 AM) and having to drive 20 miles after I get off work to pick her up.. sooo yeah.

Don't mind riding in the rain. It just sucks having to clean the bike whether it was 5 minutes or 5 hours.

you know what is even more fun... riding down to AZ. from good ole WA state and getting caught in the rain for 530 miles! good times! oh wait a minute... no not really! have to admit, living here in Wa State u get used to getting caught in the rain. it isnt that bad as long as you have a visor on the helmet. only thing i dont like is the feel of hard rain on ur face! sux.
