All of the above lol. It depends on the type of rain, how far I have to go etc.On that initial onset of rain what do you do?
My option isn't listed. It's \"Stop, pull your rain suit out of the tail bag, put it on and keep riding.\"
Rainsuit... almost NEVER leave home without it. Here in New England, it can rain at any time for any duration. Always be prepared.
Well I ride in the rain very often... daily almost.
I don't mind too much as I have the gear and I try to be careful.
usually the only time I don't want to ride in the rain is when it has not rained for a while and it just starts or only rains a little.
The first hour or so of rain seems to be the worst, that's when all of the oils get washed up.
If you wait long enough or it rains hard enough the oils mostly wash away...
spay from cars is a pain but I have found that ducking down near the puig windscreen partially forces all the rain from your visor.
I do agree that my tires (dunlop qualifiers) do a lot better than I expected... but Im always aware that it is a fine balance.
now the fog... well that's a story for another thread.
Vegas offers some great advice there. you can not ride \"as usual\" in the rain. I have spun up my rear countless times in the rain. Beware of man hole covers as well, they are like ice when wet.
And Pete, the image of you falling out of your leathers was damned funny to a guy with an over-active imagination! :rof:
