You guys who live in Seattle or Florida and places like that must just learn to ride in the rain I'm sure. It's that or only ride 3 days out of the month?

and I think most of that rain sits right over Sequim and Port Angeles

there is definately a reason everything out here is GREEN

I moved to Vegas. On the 3 days a year it rains, I don't ride. I do end up riding home from work in the rain every once in a while, and it's not the getting wet part I don't like, it's the rain pelting my face. But hey, it's not too often and I just use it like a mini training session to keep me on my toes.

I live in Palm Harbor(hour from lakeland) I find it is very easy to ride all year and not get wet. If it's just a bad rainy day, I don't ride. If the rain is dispersed into small areas like it is most of the time, I ride towards the nice weather and avoid the rain. Only actually been rained on once. Caught some sprinkles a few times for just a couple of minutes...20K miles this way over the last two years. Just ride away from the clouds.

heck yes.. .we do that all the time...
start heading out to wherever.. look up...
"hey. lets go this way instead of that way"

love it...

i dont really pay the rain no mind....
i was just wondering what others do...
the florida heat AND HUMIDITY, AFTERNOON RAIN SHOWERS ARE WELCOME WHEN, riding... you dry off quick... becuse it becomes a sauna outside after a full day off 98 degrees, 98% humidity, then it rains...... for 8 minutes... all the hott air and ground...... just become steam...
I love Florida.... tried moving out and back home a couple of times... Just never works out... Always end up back here.
