Bandanas in the rain = bloody things get really wet and then try to smother me !

Good to hear mate. Too many people buy harleys just for 2 months of the year. Good to see ya are no Captain Fairweather.

Im the same - RAIN HAIL OR SHINE! Obviously prefer shine.

I had a 45 minute ride home the other day in the pelting rain and I was fucking soaked, frozen, my face felt like I was being jabbed with needles (small rocks when the big drops fell) and I couldn't stop laughing because it was just so fucking crazy. I actually got home and instead of going in I went for a quick ride around town and even at 50kmh the rain stung    I've done it many times (riding in the rain) but usually (out of town) I'll have a mask/bandanna, or even a full face on; I think I'll carry one in my pocket from now on....

 

Well, if its pissin down no i dont get the bike out, i'll get into the 4wd, but if i'm out on the road and come across a storm or some rain it dosent bother me a bit.

it only sux if your heading somewhere, if it looks like I might get wet then I pack dry clothes in plastic.... heading home not a problem. Got pissed on heading into Adelaide last November. All the gear remained dry, Lei had full wet weather and was dry and I had a soggy leather jacket, but mostly dry (had wet weather pants on except boots had a couple liters in them...... gotta love it. Only issue coming down the hill into Adelaide is bloody cage drivers slowing to 40km/h on the freeway.... at that speed me sunnies start to fog

If you dont like riding in the rain or snow or hail and freezing your arse off...you dont want to live in Tasmania!!

I have been out riding in the rain many times through my years of riding & i get no joy from it .

I didn't have a car for about 8 or 9 years and worked in the city.......rain, hail or shine, I had no choice

These days, if i have a choice and it's raining I'll take the car but if i get caught out in it then you just go with it.

Was nice yesterday....afetr a pretty warm day we had a monster storm late in the afternoon (in Melbourne) and on my way home from a job I was at a set of lights in the trendy suburb of Fitzroy. There at the lights was a lovely lass on one of those cute little motor scooters.....tI was absolutely caning down and all she had on was a pair of slacks and a singlet..........very nice

i dont have a car and ride 80k round trip evry day . i actually enjoy the rain as i know if i was in a car the traffic would be even more shit than normal . mind you , its on the aprilia with nice sticky tyres

Hilly,still raining here too,near 3 weeks now. The dogs are starting to go mouldy!!

I always like to avoid it, but i it comes, apart from the sting, I don't mind it. The experience betters your skills. I agree with Miker, I don't go looking for it but if its there, it is, and once you're wet you can't get 'wetter'. The thing that suck most about the rain is when it comes along, you wish every chrome piece on your motorcycle would just disappear.

Its been raining all night and doesnt look like its going to let up...time to get the wets out again lolTheres still bike a bike show on today....hope they have some covered areas

Great video - how come it doesn't fog up and the view is so clear - even in the rain ?

ive just experimented and painted my headlight gloss black ceramic ...... there were some stone chips and rust spots so i thought i might as well try and get rid of some chrome

ive been caught in the rain and it sux but i got a neoprene facemask and the rain still stings through that so i try to avoid the rain but kinda sux though its been raining here on and off for the past two weeks oh well i dont mind the rain soo much except for having to grit your teeth just to get through it lol

Picked up my bike on Thrusday 18/02, as I was sitting down signing all the papers and other stuff, we watched as the rain rolled in, and I said to Brett ( Orm Snell Harley Davidson) " Mate you better throw in one of those wet weather rain suits, I have a feeling I'm going to need it. First ride on my new ride, in the pelting rain. Been ride in it since Thursday.

What the fark is rain..........?

Oh I think we had some here earlier in the year..... 77mm last year and tripled that in three days way back at the beginning of JAN.... none since then.
