Rain this year looks like it is going to be a bad one :(

[MinhDinh]

Anyone else hate the feeling of being soaked and cold? Especially when you just get to work

I prefer it to being hot and sweaty... What I don't like is having to lock/unlock the bike up when it's pissing down and you just want to get going ASAP.

i hate having to concentrate so much when its frigging raining! along with not being able to see anything, the diesel spills and the extra stopping distances!

Rain oversuit FTW. 30 miles commuting yesterday in some of the worst rain I've ridden in, and bone dry when I got home.

Yeah I am thinking of getting an oversuit.

The Alpinestars El nino seems good, but I would prefer to have something over my leathers which would save money.

Yeah I hate my visor when it rains because I can't see as well, and doing 40+ can hurt my face if it is lifted. I already have a pin lock but the drops still get in the way

The white lines and diesel spills are also annoying

I want to get the Akito desert suit at some point, I got a Spada one that fits badly on me (I am an odd shape).

I wouldn't be to bothered about the rain but 99% of my 15 mile commute is filtering up the A40 and A406. White lines suck donkey willy.

Something made by Tech7.

6 hours riding in the heavy rain today, soaked, got to the point where you had to laugh and sing in the helmet...

only 3 things i don't like about the rain...

1) My glasses don't have wipers so daren't open the visor.
2) Getting off with soggy jeans.
3) Going into a shop and coming out to a wet seat.

Brought some cheap over trousers, they do the job well for the 10 miles I go.
I use my dads waterproof jacket over the top - works ok.
Ill be nicking his Royal Mail Jacket soon - looks warm!

Looking forward to a nice 150 mile trek in the pissing rain today, on a bike barely scrubbed in, with untested luggage and a lightly researched route.

Rain doesn't bother me. Don't see what the fuss is about.

Ice, snow - for sure, that's a different matter. But rain is just water dripping, ain't gonna melt flesh from bones. Worst case scenario: you get wet! What? You aint ever had a bath? Hardly the furies of hell.

I think we are far too coseted in this country: anything more extreme than archair comfort and we're worrying. I know ppl who use umbrellas to walk 10 metres to their cars (sadly not exclsively women, which might be forgiven).
