What about suggesting that in rain, it is safer to use the rear brake rather than only the front brake.

Used to ride a suzuki burgman scooter, and if it was just light to mild rain, I could stay almost completely dry due to the fairings and leg protection (legs are tucked into the bike). Then, I moved on to a honda shadow spirit, and the first wet day I noticed the front wheel slings water all over your legs. Not cool. Plus, being a cruiser style, there’s like no storage. So, I had to quickly get together some storage options to carry some rain gear.

Having lived in Hawaii for about 9 years, I never minded the rain at all. When it stoppped raining the warm tropical trade winds dried me completely and quickly. Of course I reduced my speed and I still had to pay close attention to the painted lines and manhole covers and the like, but now that I live in Kentucky I avoid the rain at all costs. If I happen to get caught in a sudden summer shower/downpour, well, so be it. Riding in the rain definitely isn’t for everybody but it’s all part of the riding experience.
Be safe everyone!
