I used to ride in the rain and I loved it. The heavier the rain the more fun I got. I liked it when the water drops hit my face. Now as I am getting older (my body weakens, I more easily get cold), I don't do it anymore.

Have you experienced riding in the rain?

I have ridden in the rain, but only because I got caught in a storm. I don't enjoy it at all and never have. I don't like that I can't see as well, I'm cold and it hurts when the rain drops hit your skin.

I know what you are talking about. I feel not comfortable riding in the rain. I wonder why I ever liked it LOL. Maybe because in my childhood, we got so much fun playing in the rain and I wanted to experience it again.

I like riding in the rain. It's much cooler. And I love to feel the raindrops on my body. As a child, I loved playing in the rain too.

Nope, when it's raining out and I'm on the bike I always go for cover. Whether it be under a bridge or in a store. I don't want to be out in the rain. To me it is uncomfortable to be all wet when riding. I also don't want to ruin my leather jacket.

Funny you should mention this because I got caught in the rain last night with a friend of mine. I haven't been riding in the rain very often and last night it was too cold to enjoy. I am not a fan of being cold. lol

I love rain...when I am home. I do not like riding in the rain. I think it's a miserable experience that leaves me feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

I don't even like driving in the rain. I don't like not having good traction and having more of a chance to lose my balance and wreck. It scares me.
