Default Never seen rain...

Every time you read a bike for sale post does it say "never seen rain". Who the $%*# cares if it's seen rain? If you really ride it, you're gonna see some rain!

Somewhat skeptical about someone who advertises 'never seen rain'. If it has not seen rain then it is a sunny day boulevard queen and should have little or no miles on it and it should be in mint showroom condition.

I know of a Fatboy with about 15,000 in "Paint&Extras" that gets ridden almost everyday but at the first threat of rain he heads for the 2 mile ride home.

I don't see the big deal if a guy wants to baby his ride. It's his. He can do what he wants with it. There are tons of trailer queen show cars out there that have "never seen rain".
