Default OMO - Help me solve a rain problem

On my GS when I get caught in a rain shower the water runs down the plastic fairing and onto the seat, and pools in exactly the area of my leathers that are made of stretchy fabric, thus leaving me with uncomfortable damp patch pants, even after the rest of me has dried off.

I think I may have found a solution. If I wear a pair of those Tena Lady knickers inside out on the outside of my leathers this should stop the water soaking into my trousers.

But will I look a bit daft?

no more than usual?

If you got a blue pair over red leathers you could pretend you were superwoman

Have they been used? Looks like there's a few watch springs hanging about

Are you sure they aren't getting wet from the inside out...

Sorry, incontinence is no laughing matter.

No of course not.
Go ahead and wear them. You'll look fine.




Waterproofs, because no one ever complained about being too dry after riding in the rain.

If you weren't so cold and barren down there it'd all dry naturally.
