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!

I used to commute from Lake City to Sodo. Bumper traffic doing 5 mph all the way there on i5. Moved closer a few months ago, now it's all backstreets and alleys. I'm not sure what the hell they were thinking when this was all planned out.
