One awfull ride
I don't particularily like rain, but if you ride you're gonna get rained on. Don't own a rain sock but both bikes w/ open filters have crash bars and soft lowers that get put on when I am riding in wet. Necer have had a problem. Kind keeps water off my boots too.

Ran into that situation a few times myself. The last time I was coming back from NY (Americade), I was so cold I was shivering, only two hrs from home, but man what a long two hrs. Glad you made it home safely, that is what is important.

Get one of these:

Then you will never have to worry about loosing it or your SE filter getting wet as you did in that story.

Nova Scotia doesn't have much rain, does it?
What? Fog in the Peggy's Cove area, nah.

Have ridden in many a rainstorm dont much care for them but if your gonna ride and go some distance you will sooner or later get caught. If there is a chance it will rain I wear my 3/4 helmet with a faceshield and glasses it keeps most of the rain out of my eyes, even when I wear a two piece rainsuit if there are any zippers not zipped or buttons not buttoned water will find it way in run down your back to soak your butt.
