Raingear, catch 22. By the time one dons a suit, one is already wet. Especially when riding with the Englishyankee. I have the first generation Triumph Chevron suit. Leaks at the crotch, mainly due to ergonomical issues. the Universal rule of who wins never changes: Water always wins. Ride long enough and your gear will fail. Rain gear turns out to be more like cold weather gear than waterproofing. Yes your gear might be perfect and keep you fire starter dry, but then try riding at 70 mph in a driving rain tank-to-tank. I gare un tee you, you will get wet. So what is one to do? Make sure your stowed clothing stays dry.
You'll appreciate it as you observe your shed clothing, dripping all over the flea bag motel rooms nasty carpet.
