Got caught in a torrential down pour a few days ago .On my way home from work , I had no rain gear at all .Does anyone carry a rainsuit and if so any recommends ?

 

the cheap *** oversized 30 dollar ones from home depot. well being in cali its not a essential item to have unless your a full time rider, the cheap yellow gordens fisherman rain suites kick ***. ive had my hd special since 1994 and it still works good, and it it gets messed up, who cares

 

I always have my Nelson Rigg two piece on my Nad. I've ridden in a down pour at 70 for 40 minutes and was dry underneath when I got off the bike. One thing, though, as soon as the sun comes out, you'll need to peel it off quickly! It cost about $60 if I remember right and it was a great investment.

 

If possible- i just wear my jacket. . . .

I've got caught in the rain a few times.... last time I was on my way back from school- and decided to get my hair cut... left the shop in a t shirt/shorts (it was sunny....) and it started pouring out of no where. . . .

I agree on the fisherman yellow's- those would work great- especially when visability is lessened by the rain (other drivers/cagers)

 

I used to carry a Tour Master 2 piece suit under my seat. Liked it a lot. I was coming home from N. Ga last fall and stopped to get gas. A young guy on an R6 was at the gas station waiting for the rain to stop. He had been there about a half an hour and there was no end in sight of the rain. I gave him my suit so he could make it home. Now I have a 1 piece Motoboss suit from Cycle Gear. It works great, just doesnt' fit under my seat as well as the Tour Master did.

I always have my suit with me.

 

That's the kind of $hit motorcyclists do for each other, Kev. Two thumbs up for that one and it's going into my bag of stories for next time some idiot asks me what I get out of riding a dangerous motorcycle.
