Had one of those moments tonight , had to go to te awamutu and back today ( well kih kihi just bout ) ride down was cold but mint , the ride home not so much . Left round 10.30ish bout 15 minute in to the ride home and the ninja rain comes out to play ( fine rain blocks out the visor in bout 5-10 minutes , but stings like shit if the visor is up - ninja rain ) out on the open road visor half up looking for a street light to pull over to get my wets on . Now i have A hoody , leather jacket , poly waistcoat , rain jacket , high viz on they are pushing the back of my helmet up , ninja rain , dark as . And some fog as well got my arse home but feel like i leveled up or some thing . Lol and some people think we are mad riding in the rain , nar we do it to level up =D

Do you polish your visor with pledge? Works very well in this weather.

Glad ya made it made back home in one piece mate Ninja rains not fun. The levelling is prob just ur self preservation instincts kicking in upon reflection. Least ur not scared of the rain but have a healthy respect for the hazards that come with riding in the rain - and kudos for having gear for the weather conditions. Be well out there yáll. Won't be at SASS tomorrow, heading to Cambridge...and hoping weathers nice to me but if not then the trench coat and oxfords are comin out. Peace out yáll.
