Same for me two days ago. Wasn't that cool though haha.
It was freaking cold and felt like needles hitting my face.

Better than sitting at home though.

In the club, it seemed like every run we did, it rained. It got to be where we joked about renting ourselves out to farmers and partying on their land.

It's rained here just about everyday this month. We got 10" Sunday. And while I don't mind getting caught out in it, I won't ride when it's raining or if it's on the radar, heading in my direction.

Got to get in the rain and ride for awhile, it does hone those skills. Living in FL we expect it, and you know when we ride towards it it's to cool off or hone those skilz > grinz

Just put your rain gear on, lower the visor and keep on trucking. If you're traveling and have a schedule to keep you don't get the luxury of of not riding when rain is on the radar.

We actually had a rain free day today and we made good use of it. It's supposed to rain tomorrow though.

Took my 6 year old grandson for a rain ride in the sidecar last week, hit a stretch where it rained hard, but kept it moving and we both stayed dry behind the windshields. He thought it was neat, boring a hole through the rain without getting wet. Good thing there weren't any stoplights...
