I live in North Wales so rain is all part of it. I don't mind really, I would rather not but if it is wet so be it.

i ride in any weather, rain, snow, floods, etc, etc. Bikes are meant to be ridden, so i make sure mines are. Im not too keen on riding in the rain with my 1100, mainly cuz the cleaning involved after its been wet is imense, hence the reason y im building a wet/winter bike.

I luv riding in the rain & sometimes find myself reaching for the lid when skies open..
It's not rocket science just relax, keep calm & smooth, think that little bit further ahead.
I got to a stage where i find myself not backing off that much now it's good fun. Twisted Evil

i ride in the rain as need to get to work.

sold my scoob and got the bike so dont have a choice at the mo until i decide to get a car but at the moment i have no need to have a car aswell.

riding in the rain is iffy i will admit but good to know how to handle the bike in the wet for those unexpected moments of rear wheel slidding.

No riding in the rain for me thank you.

Hardly rains here so i suppose thats why i hardly ride in the rain.Pretty much all year round sunny weather in Durban.
