     We had a bit of rain the other day - just over 4 inches in the old money.

     

    Didn't stop me mate, Jake - in fact, it didn't even slow him down !!

    Better than me, I rolled up to meeting last week with wet crotch. If the rain keeper had come down himself and decided I needed to look like I pissed my pants he couldn't have done a better job.

    Nice snap btw, I can't believe people miss out on such a huge part of riding by staying away from the wet.

    Went to Melbourne on Friday, checked the radar as we were expecting rain. The radar pic was just a mass of incoming rain.

    So the decision..........car or bike.........hahaha no competition, on the bike.

    All rides are good...........its just some are better than others!

    Edit. Also got to yell and abuse 3 cages on their mobile phones.......cunz

    I don't mind a bit of rain but riding through standing water I'd be going a bit slower than the photo above because I like to keep the water OUTSIDE of my air intake <img src=

    The worst thing about riding in the wet, is you have no idea how deep the pot holes are?
    Bloody councils, cost cutting on riders lives yet again.

    I ride rain or shine all year 'round. Not a big fan of hail, but it never lasts for long I guess.

    Last year I rode through a massive puddle - it was raining cats & dogs and I didn't see it until the last minute as it was just past a railway line. The water came up to the floorboards, and splashed up way over my head. Filled the horn with water which was entertaining to get out again!
