Hi. I ride all year long in all weather, in rainy Seattle.
Rides: Honda Rebel, Honda Helix
(I'm currently shopping for something with a tad more horsepower. Probably a bigger cruiser, as they seem to handle wet roads better than sportbikes. Center of gravity, fork angle, and such.
Gear: (I live in rainy Seattle, so my gear is.. geared... for dryness and warmth)
Helmet: HJC modular & balaclava
Jacket: Tourmaster
Gloves: Klim Element leather, with a 2nd pair of wool underneath on really cold days.
Pants: insulation, jeans, pullover waterproof pants.
Boots: dexter waterproof
I don't own a car, so the bikes are my only form of transport. Ask me anything!

More often then not, its other drivers being retarded. Riders need to be very cautious in traffic here, folks just don't pay attention.
