[QUOTE="fjrchooser, post: 292420, member: 113"] I love riding the FJR in the rain. Twice a week I get to make a 100 mile two lane blacktop run to work and I smile at a 'bad' weather report. In the rain, cagers seem to give more respect though I'm not shy about making more space if I begin to feel closed in on. Not that there's all that much traffic at 4 am but by 6 when I hit the city and the e-way all bets are off. I stay in the left lane and travel at 85 like everyone else, keep my extended distance open in front of me and avoid running in blindspots of any vehicles to my immediate right. I enjoy the trip much more than droning along in the car and I'm guessing they all know it by my riding style and posture. The feeling of being cacooned, warm and dry while rain pours down around me adds to that elusive, hard-to-describe sensation only riding a motorcycle provides. A dog with its head out the window of a moving car would probably know what I'm talkng about, though probably not in the rain... ;) [/QUOTE]
