Hmmm... a nice warm house with a comfy chair and fast PC with internet access.

but strom, you can't get the wind and the smells from the PC.
The day old skunk, driving rain, and the rest of the fun!!

Does any body use the Dry Rider two piece suit? I need to up date and I don't need an insulated one but one that will keep me dry. Like a cat,I don't wanna get wet:-)

Big Yellow hooded raincoat from Building 19: $6.99

Not only is it BIG and YELLOW, but it also has a horizontal reflective stripe on a seam on the back and two on the front. Hood fits inside helmet. That way it keeps the rain from falling down my back and won't balloon out. Size is XXXL, more than enough room for my jacket underneath and any other layering.

My pants are Tour Masters, the basic model. They're already waterproof. The only problem with the big yellow raincoat is that it's rather bulky; it takes up one saddlebag side.

DRY RIDER one piece suit with the boot and glove covers. Dry as a bone and a good wind breaker as well.

Buy stuff from Dennis Kirk and they'll e-mail you fliers for ever. This week they have all manner of raingear on at "Greatly reduced prices"

Mine is a Canadian Tire onepiece I bought in the late 1980s. It's been awesome, but CT has never had them in since. It was a one time only deal, for $70.

Best $70 I ever spent.

Natures own wetsuit

I'm fitted out with skin. I find that after my flimsy, worn out shorts and T shirt get soaked, my internal organs, skeletal system and most of the inside of my eyes are almost entirely uneffected by the rain no matter how hard it's falling.

I find hail annoying though.

The best thing about skin is it dries quickly in the little bit of breeze that manages to evade my fairing.

I highly recommend skin in all weather.

I am not a supplier.

That's easy, in a country where it drops to 90 in the rain!

I used to live in a burb of Brisbane. A rain storm was better than a shower.

$25 tractor supply 2 piece here. Works well, have used it a few times. Lesson I learned never shop for a rain suit intended for a winter ride the last week of summer. You feel like a real goober in full leather trying on rainsuites when its 89 degrees outside.
