Have you ever ridden in the rain?
Let's see what the ratio is. I have many times. That's what happens to bikers. We still ahveto get around. I'll never forget the first time it rained when all I had was a bike. I called work and said I might be a bit late as it was raining. I thought about the bus, laughed and jumped on my bike. I didn't have a rain suit, got soaked, but I got there in one piece.

Ridden many times in the rain. Had to skip Monday when the roads flooded, but the 'Bob will get wet many more times in the future. Probably will not ride the others in the rain unless I get caught in it after a long ride.

Rain sucks, no matter how many times I've been caught in it I still hate riding in the rain. It rains alot here in PA.

Yeah. It sucks. I did a cross country trip once- weather was fine out west; Cali, Nevada, Utah, then it got crappy. It rained almost continuously as I rode from Steamboat Springs CO to Toledo, Ohio. There was actually some sleet or small hail as I came over Rabbit Ears pass. Then it got nice again, for the final 3-4 hours of my trip. 5 days of heavy rain, no bike washing- it barely looked liked a harley when I got home.
The rain suit and full face helmet helped, but it still stinks. It slows you down, makes it more stressful to be on the highway. At least the weather was good out west for the most part- that was the area I really wanted to see.

Ridden in the rain many times. Rained on me when I took my bike home from the dealer after I bought it. They said they would deliver it, but I told them I would rather ride it. Ridden in the rain many times since then. Rode in the coldest rain of my life last Saturday and Sunday.

If it rained on the day I bought my bike, is that like rain on your wedding day? I think so as it did when I brought mine home.

Road in the rain last night. Somehow left my rainsuit out of my roll bag. As usual it sucked. F-ing cagers all over my *** since I had slowed my pace up.
