I did get rained on occasionally, but it was uncommon. I always had (and 
still have) a rain cape in that bike's saddlebag, as well as full 
fenders. If the threat of rain was significant (over 30%) I usually 
drove in instead. For a while I was more dedicated, saying if it wasn't 
raining when I left, I'd ride in.

I preferred the rain cape to, say, rain jacket and pants. My main gripe 
with it was this: My normal riding position is gripping the hoods. As I 
did that, a puddle would form between my arms, right over my handlebar 
bag. Sometimes it would empty and splash me.
