In Queensland rain gear permanently stored on the bike, when you need it you really need it.

Bah.  Planned three days of riding in mountains around asheville, nc.  Got three days of riding in zero visibility pouring rain.  So much for the scenic overlooks!

Good rain gear rocks.   Dry and warm whole weekend.

Olympia gear, works great if you put it on!  But the gear was on the Ural (my bad weather bike) so I was SOL.  Just running errands on a sunny, hot afternoon.  Probably couldn't have gotten the gear on before getting soaked anyway, not the first time and won't be the last.   :riding:
