    Yep, I don't have much choice. Missus takes the car, and I won't be caught dead on a Bus, i'd rather get wet and cold.

    No worries. I ride every day, rain, hail, or shine. Zip in liners if cold, zip out liners if hot, 1 piece rain suit if wet, tinted visor all year round. Beats sitting in queues, especially with the price of petrol these days.

    I avoid the rain like a dose of the shits unless caught out in summer touring.

    I had the bike booked in for a service yesterday - started off fine (if overcast and about 4 degrees is fine) and naturally it turned to shit

    The weekend is meant to be utter crap in CHCH - good weather to spend in the shed cleaning the bike!

    The wet road really spooks me. Just inexperienced I guess. Other than that I really enjoy riding in the rain - just the look and feel of it - misty roads, rain beading across a waxed visor, bleak grey sky, hotgrips on full, warm jacket done up tight.

    Until I get cold, then its no fun.

    I ride in these shitty weathers not because im 'hard' or a 'seasoned biker'... I just do it because I like riding, so I will ride.

    It's fun!

    I ride every day no matter what. In fact my first ever day on a bike when taking the BHS test was in hail. Just did Hutt -> Wellington and its kinda scary. But I find if i tuck in a racing position the wind is bearable.
