I will ride in the rain when I get caught in it...or if it is a road trip (where for some reason, I always seem to run into rain)...but do I wake up, look out the window and say "Oh goodie...it's pouring...let's go riding"...no.
I live in Georgia, where 80% of the driving public seems to lose half their ability to operate a motor vehicle when it rains...so I usually avoid it if I can.

Rode home from Sturgis a couple of years ago, 500 miles of absolute misery getting drenched the whole way. Made me laugh though trying to hide behing a SG windshield with fogged goggles and horizontal rain. Gawd..

Riding in the rain is no fun for me. Right after buying the EGC we got caught in the rain, new tires, new bike. Mis judged a light turning red (can't see very well in the rain) and had to apply the non-ABS EGC brakes with gusto. Surprised how well it stopped, no sliding, even on the slick roadway.
Also, absolutely hate riding in the rain on the interstates. The semis throw up a vaporized stream of water that not only soaks you but makes it dang difficult to see. The only answer is to stop and wait it out.
Finally, I hate washing the EGC and of course you gotta do it after a getting caught out in the rain...
