Wow I think this thread has covered every topic ever asked, cams, muffler bearings, oil, blinker fluid, riding gear, HD accessories, pipes, etc... I did not see the actual answer, you must first install HD rain tires...its the only way to safely ride in the rain...

Come on spring get here so we can ride!

You can ride it in the rain, just don't expect your POS stock horn under the cowbell to make anything other than a sick roadrunner neep, neep afterwords. On my 3rd one

Oh man you are all off base. I have found a real neat site that sells bike condoms. It fits like a glove and have a deposite well plus it is well lubricated.

I can ride in the rain, but I do not know if you can ride in the rain. That is a question you have to answer for yourself, by yourself, to yourself.

I would recommend not riding in tornado weather. The possibility of getting hit by flying cows is too great.
