Put a baggie over your whatchamacallit so it doesn't short out and you don't know where you are.

It all depends on what kind of rain, and the HD model you ride.

Only if you ride fast enough to keep it dry!

You could, but I'm in Adelaide, SA, Australia right now and don't really care if it's raining in NM. It is a beautiful, sunny 31C (88F) here in Adelaide.

Another 3-1/2 weeks of work, then 10 days of play...(won't be home til 28 March)

Rain, well it is just part of it. Always be prepared with the right gear, and do not try and avoid the rain drops, makes for tricky riding.

OK, I'm going to let you guys in on a little forum secret... riding in the rain is no problem, but you want to make sure you give your bike a good coat of Lemon Pledge before you head out into the wet stuff.
