Great Rain Ride Today
It came down hard, close to two inches per hour rate. Cars on
the highway driving 40-45 with flashers on. Lightning flashing
off to the side. Hardly any wind at all. Had rain on both sides of
my visor. My old rain jacked hardly slowed the rain down. My frog
togs were there to keep me dry. Well for a little while. The last 5
miles were 45 mph back roads. Water was running over the road
and I couldn't tell how deep it was. Twice the spray from my front
tire blasted my left foot off of the peg. Tires stuck good, only spun
the rear twice. Got home and my rain jacked was soaked inside and
out. The front of my shirt was wet, my lap was wet. Cell phone and
wallet made it OK. What a great day.

Later I found out is was 2.5 in per hour plus rain. F'k it came down hard.
Turn your head way to left and then right, the wind will blow the
rain off your visor. Make sure your gloves are clean and you can wipe
your visor as you ride. If your gloves are not clean you might scratch the
visor.
Fogging problems - scuba shops sell something to keep masks from fogging.
Open the visor a crack and the wind will help.
i havent been in the rain yet -
Stay away from any painted lines, they are slick as s**t. Easy on front brake.
