They are just trying to make themselves look hardcore when they arent. If you dont have to ride in the rain, why would you ?
just curious
mikey, there isn't anything hardcore about riding in the rain; only some of you think that people that ride in the rain are thinking that they are trying to be. Hardcore, to me, is the ability to do stunts. I don't do stunts.
The only difference (as long as you have good tires), as I have discovered, between riding in the rain and not, is that you get soaking wet.
However, for me, riding in hard pouring rain puts all my senses in overdrive as well as it puts me in a world that is strictly my own and I love the feeling that I get from it.
At the end of the ride, I am refreshed and smiling from an adrenaline overdose.
If you have the right gear, you stay warm and dry and you get 300 more days to ride out of the 365. It makes the sun shine on days that are not.

p.s. a rabbit doesn't think he is a rabbit, only you think that it is a rabbit or perhaps a rabbit wannabe :laughing
