Been wet before, and I know I will get wet again so its no big deal. Bike washes and so do I. Just have to make sure all senses are working at 120%. Besides I take my bike to class during the fall and spring, and its either I get wet riding or get really wet walking between classes.

Haha, I just got home and I had to ride in heavy snowfall, with 2-3 inches on the ground.

It was awesome! Haha - It was about a 3 mile ride through the city, and I was rompin' that s**t! Riding in the warm rain is a blast too...

Thats when bad things happen. Never underestimate the unknown, ever ride is different, every corner has a different hazard, and every crash happens when you least expect it.

I ride in the rain. In fact, I went to a track day down at pocono, didn't cancel cause even though we knew it was downpouring. Spent the 200 plus for it, gonna get the most out of it. I never learned so much. Plus we rode deals gap in the rain for 3 days. I agree with others, good gear, good to go. I clean my bike after every single ride no matter what. Riding in the rain helps our abilities.

Bring on the water. If it's raining I won't go grab my helmet, jacket,and keys and be out dragging knees. But I also won't let it keep me from doing what I got to do and after your already wet it's fun playing in the rain. Like Illushun said the rain makes you focus and hones your skills to be a better rider.
