Gotta ride in the rain...no way I wanna pay for parking in town! Only take the cage if I have to be all tarted up for very important senior meetings...and that would be rain or shine but not very often.
Wouldn't purposely choose to set off for a cruize in the rain but needs must when it comes to getting to work and I haven't melted yet!
...Got a wet belly button on the way this morning- first rain in new gears and they did a good job apart from that....

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
OK, so who's next?
I don't ride to work anymore (it's like 5 mins and takes longer to get the bike out than to get to work...) but when I did I rode all the time...I've even ridden in a hailstorm so heavy cars couldn't get up hills because it looked like snow....

I mean, I agree with you on principle; if I have some pesky running-about to do in heavy rain I generally just take the car. I don't have any 'real biker' shit I'm trying to prove to anyone.
When a rush-hour commute is involved, though, the hassle of gearing up and filtering in bad conditions is worth the time I save out of the day - I mean, it's more than an hour, total, that I can be either snoozing in bed or sitting in my office instead of waiting in traffic watching my windscreen wipers and listening to inane radio DJs.

Yes really
Bring on the insane DJ's anyday over the rain & the fuckwit drivers. Just not enjoyable to ride in those conditions at all.

I ride daily and found that this mornings heavy showers did a pretty good job of removing bug splats off my jacket. Should be totally sweet by the time I get home.

Born to be mild
Heavy rain doesn't worry me. The only thing that'll make me think twice is heavy rain and strong wind together. In those circumstances I left the bike at home twice last year and one of those times was only because Mrs Oakie was driving near my work anyway.
Grow older but never grow up

Actually, I was riding to work this morning, thinking "I bet some hero's going to start a chest-thumping thread today about Real Bikers riding in the rain..."
The same threads pop up every autumn.
