    I can't say riding in the wet is a pleasure, but it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. Strangely, I liked racing in the wet. Heightened sense of danger, and having to ride pin point accurate, gave me a bizarre thrill...

    Always prefer to ride rather than drive, regardless of the weather.

    lol, I had a feeling this was a sore subject for some ,lol

    Ill ride no matter what, you can only make a judgement on something that you know or have experienced, what I mean by this is.
    Just cause there is rain doesnt mean that the ride is going to be a bad one and same said for the cold.
    some of the best rides have been in the cold and wet .....
    but I will always make a reason not to get into a steel coffin and go somewhere..
    cheers for your feed back and sorry if it offended some ......lol ;D

    Personally speaking, I’ve never really got the ‘fair-weather versus all-weather biker thingy. :


    If you are a biker in your 70s suffering from arthritis you are unlikely to ride on a cold wet day. In contrast, if you are in your early 20s and a motorcycle is your only mode of transport then you probably ride in all weathers.

    Whenever or whatever you ride a biker is a biker to me. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    I don't ride in wet conditions because i don't feel confident... i'm new to sport bikes and still getting used to it ... i do ride for pleasure and if i don't feel confident can't say i enjoy it! ( to be honest i s*it myself :-[ )
