When I passed my DAS last year my instructor insisted I got out in the rain as soon as possible, in fact he told me to get out in everything besides snow and ice. I did this and soon overcame concerns about riding in the wet, and rode through the winter
If anything id rather ride in the wet than strong winds. At least in the wet you can see the conditions and adjust your ride accordingly, I hate strong winds because you cant predict the next gust, most unsettling!! |

I don't mind the rain TBH, . I agree riding in the rain is good for honing skills/control.
strong winds definitely not fun, smelly too ![]() |

I was out on my DRZ on saturday just gone and behind 3 guys on gixers for 2 biggish islands, they were holding me (yes me) up, so i can ride in the rain, just prefer not to.
Cant believe what a fuss people are making over it, we all prefer things, so what? |

If people don't like riding in the rain, they don't like it. No fuss. Everyone should ride how they want to.....end of.
Yes it can really improve your riding if you can conquer riding comfortably in the rain. But, if peeps don't like it then its their choice.

yeah you can say anything you like as long as you put a smiley on the end.
if the OP didn't want a "fuss" the comment need not have been made, which is clearly "erroneous" by the replies and "mass generalization" by the "anybody". and according to that logic the ![]() ![]() ![]() Cheers Mark.
