we used to ride side by side on the freeway in the rain too, good times!

Where did you live in the Bayarea?
Riding on the Bridge is pretty wild when its raining and the wind is going sideways.
Tips for Riding in the Rain: Double Pane Shield for your helmet (anti-fog capabilities due to the air pocket between the two layers). You dont want your helmet fogging up when the rain is already making it difficult to to see. Get some nice rain gear to ride in and nice boots. Dont ride in the middle of the road. Stay to the right or the left where car tires are. Slow down. Also, if you havent bought a motorcycle yet consider one with an anti-lock braking system...its a game changer. Ive got it on my bike and love it for rainy days.
