Agree with Ste.

You didn't have any option for goretex kit! It's all about goretex when you're riding in rain.

Survey lacked focus dude and I don't know what the feedback was aiming to achieve.

I filled it in as well. Do you ride? I'm going to guess that no, you don't.

What do you intend to do with the result of your survey? Confused

Yeah, started riding at christmas. Got myself a 125 to have a bit of fun on. Just need to know what other riders think of riding in the rain.


Yeah, it's shit. It's slippy, visibility is poor, it's cold, it's wet.

What about designing a big umbrella that clips onto your helmet? If you do that I want a cut.

How did you narrow the list of possible issues there are with riding in the rain to the seven that are mentioned on your survey? Confused

Thought about an umbrella, or maybe even a massive radiator to blow hot air on to you. Look really good[/quote]

and the car drivers can't see less than usual, brake more suddenly, swerve more erratically and indicate even less than usual.

Come on be fair sometimes it's really really shit.

OP, rather than try and make a miracle product to ease the shiteness of riding in the rain you might have more success trying to stop the rain.

Cheers

The best way to improve riding in the rain, apart from obvious stuff like warm clothes which don't leak and an anti-fog visor thingy, is a day of off-road lessons on a small, crashable dirt bike. After that your skill and confidence in slippery conditions are so much improved that riding in the rain becomes a satisfying challenge instead of a miserable, stressful ballache. No new product is going to help, unless it's a national network of cheap offroad training centres. Please design that.

I can't merge threads so I'll lock this one.

Oxygen of attention and all that.

Greedy op has started two I've seen.

If I find more on the same subject, he can have a ban for spamming.
