On purpose? I used to say that everybody rides in the rain, but I won't leave in it. I sometimes put on the rainsuit now, and go out for an hour to get the bugs out of all the unreachable nooks & crannies. Just did it today. Back to the garage, a nice towel dry, and I have a showroom shine again.

 

Got hammered today. Hail and all. That **** hurt.

 

rain?.... have heard of it before.. water from the sky? what a concept.

we could use it.

 

Of course. There are summers in Alaska where if you won't ride in the rain, the riding season is pretty damn short. Shorter than it already is. So yep, I'll start out in the rain.

 

I only ride in the rain when it's raining. Otherwise I ride when the sun is shining.

 

I rode home from work in the rain yesterday. The one thing I really like about the EG is the fairings. They keep the road splash from cages and my own front wheel from hitting me. All my other bikes, without fairings, my legs and shoes would alway be soaked. Not with the EG. If it's only drizzling, I remain remarkably dry.

 

Only when I have to.

 

Funny you ask, I live in Western Washington (The Wet Side), I ride about 10 months out of the year. People call me crazy.... Maybe? I dunno ?? I guess I could be!!

 

Commute every day on the bike so yeah, rain. Not always excited about it at the start, but once I'm going it's just another ride I'm enjoying.

 

What is this "rain" stuff of which you speak? We haven't seen any of that for 2 months!
