My bike saw rain before I rode off the dealers lot!!! The salesman took me to lunch after the deal was final. While eating a storm blew in and was soaking my bike and my helmet was hanging on the handle bars like a bucket!! He ran out and took the bike inside. He was soaked, that true customer service!

I would worry more about a bike that's never seen rain than one that has. If it hasn't seen rain, it hasn't been ridden much. You're going to have more problems with a garage queen than one that has been ridden....

Well, my bikes have never seen rain but I still ride them 15k or more a year so they ain't no trailer queens. Then again, I live in California and we've been in a drought for a 100 years, or so they say.
