yea I got an ultra and a great harley rain suit, but rain ridein is just the worst crappy nasty ridein so I take a break durring it. afterall most rains are gone in a couple hours or so. hell sometimes I;ll do some little maintence, like adjust cables, check and tighten bolts or read a book I'll carry. get laid back and make phone calls or play on the laptop.
nope rain ridein been there dont that and will try and not do it again

I hate riding in the rain....my Harley is mostly recreational..and my work is just 12 miles from home with light traffic....if I even suspect rain.....I don't take it to work. If we're with a group, on a weekend trip....most will pull over somewhere and let the rain roll over us.

For you goggles, I think there is something called anti-fog. Check at ski or scuba diving shop or on-line.
