I rode from NE PA to to the northern end of Vermont on my way to Laconia NH in driving rain. It was raining so hard I couldn't see the tail light of the guy in front of me,also a Triumph (America). Neither one of our bikes missed a beat. I have ridden in the rain since then too and never missed a beat,ever.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
