I was hyperthermic on that ride, it was seriously horrible. I’ve gotten stuck in rain like that before just not as long, cold and worried about fuel. It’s still a great memory. I concur, wholeheartedly. That ride was screwed in just about every way, even worse for you. You think that kid on the Grom in the frog suit was out hopping around and having a good time like when we saw him? Lol

A wet dragon is not fun! Topped off with tuning issues, yucky. And freezing your ass off. That was painful to watch. Bike sounds great in hatboro vid tho.

I gotta say, heading to an event surrounded with a forecast of 9 days of rain/storms, you need to have a rain suit. I'm not going to claim it would be a fun ride with a rain suit, but you wouldn't have to be freezing and soaked if you got caught. I own a Nelson-Rigg suit and haven't had to use it much, but it is a great thing to cram under the seat when the radar looks like you'll be dodging black clouds. The first time I put mine on, I was pretty amazed at how much it changed my rainy riding experience. Then it's mostly just trying to keep the visor clear and not do anything dumb when there's less grip.

Your suit probably just about addresses both of those issues, so I could see your ride being 80% better than ours at least. It was cold and it was wet. That’s all I am going to try and remember.
