RE: Have you ever ridden in the rain?
Lots and lots of times. I don't go out and "just ride" in the rain anymore, but if I'm out riding or on a trip it's know big dael. Just put on the rain suit and continue.
Coming home from a road trip toWNC mountains/BRPin Nov '04, I got caught in a F1 tornado here in Macon about 15 miles from home. WOW, I won't do that again. Caught me by suprise. I mean clear skys then Boom! the sky just opened up, had warm and cold rain, small hail and lots of wind. I was wearing my rain jacket, so I just continued...BIG mistake. Luckly I just caught the tail end of it, had to ride around downed trees and some power lines, but made it. The state trooper directing traffic was just laughing at me as I rode by, guess I can't blame him.

I have ridden in the rain a lot. I hate it and will avoid the rain if at all possible. If it is raining when I get ready to leave I will cage it. If the forecast from NOAA is 50% chance or greater for rain then I will cage it. But, if I am already out and it rains then so be it, I hate it but will ride in it anyway if I have to.

Many times. You can only get so wet. It's not real bad in the warm summer months. I do feel sorry for the ones without windshields.

Rained pretty much the whole time we were at Delmarva Bike Week last year but we still rode

it's like the SILLY QUESTIONS thread...
I was asked once, "what happens when it rains..."
I answered, "I get wet"...

Yes ma'am....we seem to become 200% invisible to the cagers with a little precipitation.
