I would just like to say that I rode my bolt 183 miles yesterday from ft leonard wood to Hannibal mo in cold ass weather with occasional drizzle/rain....and it was still 1,000 times more fun that driving my 2010 Camaro SS. I cant belive how much I missed bikes after 13 years of not riding.

It is fun to return to the sport of motorcycling. I was without a street bike for 15 years untill buying my 01 X1. Will ride the Ulysses in the rain today to vote on a new contract.

I used to love riding in the rain. It's a super peaceful feeling to be out riding in the rain when you've got good gear on and aren't getting wet at all, you feel like you're in a little bubble. Cracking the throttle every time you leave a redlight and having your back tire break loose is fun too :D

Rode 160 miles home in the rain many years ago in FL. After your crotch gets wet (forgot my rain gear) I find it really doesn't matter anymore and it's not to bad. This was on my 05 XB9SX. And people wonder why I have saddle bags.
