Safe Riding in the Rain

You may have already seen this article, but if not, it has some good pointers that we all need to be reminded of. Slick roads are a challenge even to the most skillful and experienced riders of which I am neither.

Good article. Riding in the rain isn't so bad if you're set up for it. With a rain suit, engine guard cover and a visor that doesn't fog up, I don't mind rain. It's only when there's a heavy downpour, that I don't like it at all. Only wish that gore-tex wasn't so expensive, since it makes an ideal rainsuit that "breathes".

Hey Mitch what about when it hails

Hail? Head for cover!

I have my Wally World rain suit, engine bar chaps, little bootie things (rain gators?) my wife bought me, full face helmet and mesh gloves. Works well.
