With the right frame of mind (and as long as it's not too cold) riding in the rain is fun. Just have to remember to give yourself a few extra feet stopping distance... The lightning was a little scary but mostly just cool looking. Made me feel even more badass.
The storm this morning was sweet. The storm going from the burbs towards Chicago wasn't as bad as the rain two weeks ago (couldn't see past 10 feet on the highway due to the torrential downpour), but there was some really cool lightning.
That being said, I don't really enjoy riding in the rain if I'm trying to go somewhere. I'll occasionally go ride in the rain for fun, though.
@ carleton - Your bike looks like a fighter jet and is pretty awesome.
