Default Rain Gear?

I have a motorcycle safety course comming up next week. The weather predicts it might rain. I NEVER ride in the rain but the course runs rain or shine. I'd like to pick up something so I'm not miserable all day in case it does rain. Looking for something affordable as I don't really plan to use it afterwards. Thanks in advance.

They might supply it. Last week I rode past the place where they offer it around here, and the class was going on, with everyone wearing bright yellow rain suits.

I just bought a one piece Moto boss rain suit this morning from cycle gear. $50, they had a cheaper version, but it felt more like a painting suit than a heavy duty rain suit

I just want something inexpensive because I don't plan to ever use it again after the 3 day school.

well, you already got it, but I was gonna recommend a stearns dry suit from wally world. Sure you'll look like the gordons fisherman on a bike, but mine kept me dry for years till I upgraded to some real gear.

get a $1 poncho from walmart and use duct tape to secure it around your waist so it doesnt flap. You might look stupid but it'll save you $50

I think a Black trash bag is. Plus you get them yellow pull ties. Adds some style.
