So you're a biker huh?

[Coldrider]

I've got those. They've never leaked.

Mine haven't ever leaked also, but then we haven't had proper rain for the last nine months.

[Tank]

So i assume you dont consider yourself a real biker{whatever that is}either then?

Compared with a lot of people on here - no I dont.

Im a commuter with weekend rides - and I know it.

The Boulevard run is my first 'long' ride (ANZAC weekend).

I'm not a biker, but I ride to work every day on the mighty SV. I get there drier than if I had to catch a bus, or whatever.

Hey I got these over gloves from http://www.rain-off.com/ and they are brilliant. They even keep the hands warmer, summer gloves and no heated grips inside these babies.

bling to you sir.

Ill ride in rain only if I have to.
I rode to work rain hail or shine for several years but then earned a work vehicle that saves me thousands over the course of a year so I drive a Hilux Monday to Friday. I would choose to ride to work again if i lost that priveledge however.
If I have planned to ride and it starts to rain, I ride. There are times though when I'll reserve my decision to to go for a ride to see how the weather turns out because when I go for a ride I like to really enjoy it

Cage is being de-rego'd this week. Took the bike yesterday, first real wet-weather ride. Not much difference, just got be a bit gentler with the right wrist, and remember that auckland cage dwellers are dickheads in the wet.

Sorry, more than they usually are...

fair enough.
My old car was english and often stopped working in the rain, so had to walk and then you get wet anyway.

car is there for carrying things (people/surboards/bicycles/other crap.)

Actually, the sad thing is that the question even need be asked. Ichabod, ichabod.

[FruitLooPs]

Rain hail or shine if it's to work, no other choice. Anywhere else i'll ride in drizzle/rain but if it's a decent distance or bucketing I've got the car so i'll use it.

I've ridden in torrential west coast roots ya cellphone thru ya cordura jacket rain before. Came to a steaming halt (both the bike, and me) at the gas station in Hokitika , and it gets old pretty quick..

[mynameis]

Where's the option you never commute on a bike and always in a cage because there are too many idiots out there?

[glice]

Riding in the rain is for people without a car.
