    Just throwing it out there that rain gear exists and you can 100 percent ride a motorcycle or a bicycle when it’s raining without getting wet. I think everyone would be a better driver if they had to experience getting somewhere on two wheels.

    Hell, a motorcycle can generate enough electricity to power heated clothing to keep you warm even during New England winters. If there’s no ice on the road I’m riding my motorcycle to work!

      Hi I own only a moped and when it rains/snows:

      • if it’s not too severe I just wear a poncho and be a bit miserable
      • if it’s too severe I take a cab

      the occasional cab fare is peanuts compared to what I’d be paying in gas and insurance

      I rent a car/van sometimes when I need to haul stuff. Same deal
