Snicker snicker..... That's the spirit girl!!!

Did someone mention location again? There's no doubt it matters......... India is great at this time of year. You can buy a brand new Enfield for the same price as your plane ticket. I'm sorry for everyone that can't ride right now. Location location location darlings!

Are there many people riding with handle bar muffs at this time of year by the way? They're wicked if not ugly as hell.

Honestly if it's raining I would rather drive only because I don't have the proper rain gear. My only real problem with riding in rain is how the heck do I keep my sheild clear so I can see? I got caught in a down poor one day on my way home from work and had to stop because I couldnt see were I was going. Other then that since I'm in Florida it doesn't snow so If I wake up with enough time to gear up I'll ride in the cold no problem.

I tried that once and it didn't help. I'll go and buy some and try again though.

There are quite a few alternatives to Rain x but yeah....... rain x. Good when it's actually raining.
Doesn't work for baked on salt when it's not raining though. Crap doesn't just flow off your visor. That requires different tactics. 1) Glove/finger wipe across the visor. 2) Stop and wipe your visor with a damp sponge and paper towel that you happen to be carrying with you. 3) Call it a day, go to the nearest pub, wake up in the gutter and carry on in the morning at first light.
