Ride in the rain all the time. It'll be fine. Buy a cover if you just want some extra protection when you're away from the comforts of a garage.

I really don't understand this, Is there not the Universal New Bike Curse which states that it shall rain on the day of delivery and thereafter for the next five days?

But I do like the ads; "For Sale, 2006 Wide Glide. Super Low Mileage, Garage Kept, never rained and and never dropped. Maintenence up to date and done by HD dealer."

Which translates: "Hi, I'm an upscale yuppy in mid life crisis that paid $23k for an awesome and completely tricked out Harley so I could impress my friends in the firm. I've ridden the bike 5 times bar hopping and have scared myself sensless each time. I'm riding on a learners permit because I don't think I can pass the test which is totally bogus anyway. The bike has had the 500 mile service, done at 103 miles because someone told me it would be a good idea to change the oil once in 5 years."

At least that's how I read those ads.

My bike got wet when I washed it. Should I sell it?

Last summer it seemed to rain everytime I rode at least 50 miles from home. I considered setting up a drough busting business, for a negotiated fee I would drive thru you town and bring the rain! God knows that black cloud followed me everywhere.

Note to the OP:


Don't ever consider going to Sturgis...... if you think rain is bad, try some South Dakota HAIL.
