I ride in the rain too but...
>In class let your jacket hang over your seat, keep the rest on
Beeing all day with a dripping wet pants on isnt good, and the jacket is going to make a huge puddle on the classroom floor.
Not a good solution.

I wouldn't go that far. It's a fantastic asset. The reason I use it most often for is actually so I can park it completely upright and not have to lean it one way or the other. Saves space.

>Beeing all day with a dripping wet pants on isnt good
Why not? Have done it so many times.

>and the jacket is going to make a huge puddle on the classroom floor.
Not my problem, not only one that was wet.

anyone here tried out a recent Moto Guzzi V7?

wow that's a pretty bike

>doing all that shit
>when I could simply get in my car instead
I guess the value of a motorcycle as a commuter is higher when there's fucktons of traffic and you can filter through it, but neither of those things apply where I live.

I agree. problem is though, none of the big U.S. outlets have really reviewed it, and the European ones that have have come to the conclusion that if you want a bike that feels really old the Guzzi is the one for you. Which makes me worry that it will shit the bed when compared to the Street Twin or other vintage looking bikes

Motorcycles are cheaper to register and insurance is dirt cheap compared to a car.
Also fuel economy is way better.

If you want to keep a car use it to get to work when it rains or you need to bring stuff in the trunk. Then ride the motorcycle when the weather's good.

I went to my local yamaha dealership to get a price quote on my seat fairing because I fell into a pothole and cracked that shit. Was expecting like $400 quote because jap plastic but the dealer knocked it down to $280. Picking that shit up tomorrow

If you want that retro style but a new bike you're better off with Truimph. Those are slow and hot
