LOL, Hear ya. I have rode both 2 and 4 smokers in the rain many times. With right gear on it is refreshing and fun. Never seemed to hurt any thing.

Be careful.

It's even kinda fun with the right gear... provided ridin' is a choice, not a chore that is

LOL! 2 true BA. Not dressed for it and under duress, major bummer. (Salute. Major Bummer, Privet enterprise)

Way out there, but do you think "Rainex" would work at our speeds and on goggles or glasses? Glare from car lights at night in the rain, Big time, Major Bummer. (salute. lol, Carol doesn't think that is funny either)

Rain-X is awesome! I got addicted to it with my ol' jeep and dirtbikes - it helps mud slide off lol

Anything that works that well has gotta be destroying the rainforest or somethin'

Its o.k. if you don't have a friction drive. mine won't move if its wet. Although I have seen at least one post that saying their friction drive did o.k. wet. ymmv.

I have been warned by a few folks that once you start rain-x you gotta keep up on it or the coating will degrade and mess up the clairity of whatever "window" you used it on.
