Is it dangerous to ride in the rain, Joe?
I want to save money but I want him alive too! ;-).
I’m going to look into the “Frog Toggs”. If he likes them, he gets them!
Not as long as you take the proper precautions and have a good set of tires.
You can't corner as fast, you can't stop as fast, you probably need a face shield on the helmet to keep the rain out of your eyes (use a good anti-fog on the face sheild), and remember that other drivers in four wheeled vehicles have the same issues with rain that you do.
I've ridden in the rain many times, HARD rain, thunderstorms, etc and you just need to be careful. Slow down and don't take chances.
Remember, when you ride, in ANY weather, you should ride like you are invisible to other driver while at the same time ride like every other driver is a raving luinatic out to run you down.
I call it riding with your head on a swivel.
