I had the water proofing option added to my bike. Dealer said it was a good deal for $395

rain is natural, it happens sometimes, and doesnt happen other times. its a risk you take every time you go outside. haha just ride, dont worry. just take your turns slower

Shiiiiittt.... I got rained on riding home from the dealer...[8D]

It's not unusual to get rained on just about every day at times down here....

Part of owning a bike....

If I had a buck for everytime I've got rained on since I've been riding... Hell I could probably retire...

Just ride....

Someone mention snow?

But serious, bikes are just a vehicle, and like your car or truck, they won't 'melt' if they get wet....

Rain happens...no biggie as long as you're prepared; just be sure to slow down and stay out of the center of the lanes and remember, oils rise to the surface when rain begins.

Hey OFG, my best bud recently joined your Combat Vets Association in Winter Park, Colorado last year at a rally. As I am not a vet, I cannot join, but you guys run a real nice organization. But hey, I got a sweet "Support Combat Vets" patch!
