if you ride alot. you will end up in a rain storm some worse that other's but it does happen.myself i alway's carry a rain gear with me at all time's because it can be 80 degree one min. and down pour the next and if you take a road trip and not end up in the rain. you better knock on wood.

 

I have been on several long road trips where I never got wet once. But there are other trips where it seemed to never stop raining. Nothing worse than to plan a trip and then the big day comes to leave and it's raining. Your family stands on the porch and watches you ride away in the rain on a five day trip in saying, "boy, he must really be nuts..." And they are right - on a bike you gotta take it as it comes .
