RE: How do you feel about riding in the rain?
Riding in the rain durring the day doesn't bother me. But I never want to do it again at night !!! I got caught in the worst rain strom this fall around here. The problem I had is no where to pull over, with out the risk of getting hit by a car. So I decided to just travel allot slower allong the side of the road. I had to keep my visor up, and i just followed the white line all the way home.

I crack my visor a little when its raining and my visor keeps fogging.
I ride in the rain alot, being my bike is my only transportation right now. I check the weather everyday and pack stuff that will keep me dry when needed, luckly my fairings do a good job keeping my legs dry.

I could care less about the rain. I live in Washington. If you are going to ride a bike here, you are going to get wet. Just have to have the right gear and be extra alert for other people. For some reason, they cant see a bright red bike with a loud exhaust bright headlights, even in the dry.

I hate riding in the rain. I try my best to never do it, thou it does happen from time to time.
I got stuck in a lightning storm this past summer that killed a guy at the beach in CT, which was where I left from. That was the only day that I ever started to think that I may not make it home. Scary...

havent ridden when it was actually raining yet, i usully just wait for it to stop. Ridden on soaked roads many times, like everyone said larger following distances and dampen all your control movements. Never really had a problem as far as traction goes, then again i take it super easy in the rain

I've ridden in a lot of rain... you get used to it.
Traction is lower, but with good tires and common sense you'll be fine. Track take-offs are absolutely useless in the rain, but a fresh set of street tires are going to hold just fine.
I've had 12 hour days in the rain, and I'm still here
