I, for one, hate the rain. If I get caught in it, then so be it, but I usually try to avoid the rain. Whenever it rains the streets in key biscayne, FL where I do most of my riding is sandy and salty not only causing corrosion if left on the bike but its a pain having to clean the chain from all of the debris picked up! Not to mention it means I have to wash all the clothes I was wearing if I don't want to smell like wet dog... o.k. I'm done ranting haha
