Well I finally did it... and not on accident either. I had to ride in the rain. One vehicle in the shop and the other being used and I had to get to work... ride to work, not a problem... puffy clouds, slight breeze. At 9 PM the rain came in and I leave work at 11. I came prepared... leather, 1/2 chaps and long gloves. Tried RainX on the face shield (didn't work worth $#!*). Ok ready to go... Not raining much when I started. Streets wet, but no standing water. Ok I can do this. Easy on the corners and turns. Now hit the freeway. Late - not much traffic. Then comes the big trucks. I'm going just a bit faster (not much) than they are, but man do they throw out a bunch of water! Then the closer I get to home the harder it rains. Total of 25 miles and no real problems. I don't think I would try to purposely ride in the rain, but now I know I CAN.
