i think diggler will agree but the sprayback from when we raced at mallory was unreal! i couldnt even see the bike 6ft infront of me in half of the races, gets the hart beating tho  |

use some "Water of a ducks back" the water just sprayes right of!
And if that doesn't work turn your head sideways at speed and bada bing the water just flies off!
Riding in the rain does suck balls tho |

Rain doesn't bother me. Not got a choice really, bikes my only form of transport and I'm not even going to bother considering using the trains again!
Still in my first year of riding so might change my mind come winter, but living in Scotland it pretty much rains every day at some point. |

I travelled 5 hours to pick my bike up, had my leathers on as the weather was lovley.. bought the bike within 10 mins the heavens opened and when i reached the M6 there was a 5mile tailback, then a 7 mile tailback, got soaked for about 2 hours, no sorry DRENCHED for 2hours...
riding in the rain is no problem, just got to watch out for the sprayback and twats whizzing past through puddles...
Just gotta make sure when you get home to give the bike and good clean and dry her off  |

The only thing I really hate about the rain is roundabouts, don't get me wrong I won't go out and ride in it, its no fun at all, but if i'm out and it rains, which it tends to do these days, i'm not to bothered.
I did a trackday at Assen and it rained for the afternoon, it was great there was loads of track time and plenty of grip. I really enjoyed it. |

I dont mind rain, Just take corners abit slower.
But I find if you worry about it...More likely to do something silly, Like not make it around a corner.
Just use ur head and stay off painted areas and manhole covers.
Only thing that REALLY bugs me, Is all the inconciderate cagers spraying water everywhere!!!
