I just received my new rain gear from the http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com

I picked up the Nelson-Rigg two piece VTL-700 Rain suit

Of course I got it in Orange/Black/Silver, gotta show dem MoCo colors!

It was raining cats and dogs on my way home from work and the suit was outstanding!

Kept me dry as a bone. It has the panels on the insides of the legs to keep them from melting on the hot pipes! A very worthwhile investment.

 

I was out in that storm yesterday here in Williamsburg, but not on purpose.&nbsp\\; I had to run some errands after work and got caught out in it.&nbsp\\; My rain gear consists of my work uniform...it doesn't repel water.&nbsp\\; But, with the windshield, I only really get wet from the knees down...unless I have to sit in trafic.

 

I had a nice rainsuit years ago. I wish I could remember who I loaned it too....

 

I rode home from work in the Hampton Roads area yesterday and caught some rain. No rain suit and my damn jacket decided to bust it's zipper. Kinda sucked but better than the car. [8D]
On Sunday me and 3 other guys wen't riding out to Petersburg and caught some rain but I had my Frogg Toggs with me and wore them for the first time. And even though I had to pull the humongous pants up to my chest, they rocked.

 

doesn't that void the warranty

 

Good deal dude. Always good to ride in the rain. I got rained on on my way to work today. Then the day was beautiful. And on the way home, guess what? Yep, rain again.

I always have my rain suit with me. You never know.

 

No rain touched me today! [8D]

 

I got caught in a serious thunderstorm on the way home from work about a month back...&nbsp\\; At first I was pizzed... Didn't care about getting wet (only a 20 minute ride)... I was just irritated thinking about all the extra cleaning/drying I would have to do when I got home...
&nbsp\\;
Funny thing is... Once I accepted the fact that the bike was getting wet....very wet.... I actually enjoyed it.... Throwing up fishtails and rippin through puddles is actually kind of fun...
&nbsp\\;
Kind of reminded me that if that was the worst thing that was going to happen to me that day.... Life really wasn't so bad

 

I also did an intentional ride in the rain yesterday.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Wasn't the first time, but it sure makes ya question your judgement when you are putting on the rain suit in the garage, and rain is falling down in buckets.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
It's one thing to get caught out in the rain.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Total different story to leave the house on the bike in the rain.&nbsp\\;It ended up being about 180 miles in the rain.\\\\\\; My neighbors all just shook there head as I rode out the driveway, and down the street.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Poor cagers, they just don't get it.
