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.

hah, oh yah, you're in SF right? So you know, those bridges can be nutty. I lived all over, I lived in the city and rode the bay bridge commuting to Cal for several years, then all around the other side of the bay, I forgot what y'all call that side anymore, lolz, this was 1990-2000. that is where I learned how to dress to ride in all kinds of weather.
good tips too!
