I really doubt you would notice a difference in the rain unless you were pushing it.... But whatever makes you feel better! Nice machine

Re: HAMILTON Riders - Weekly rides through the back roads!
Hey folks,
Sorry I have been MIA in this thread recently, I assure you I have a good excuse.
Coming back from Port Dover on Friday the 13th I got into an accident with my motorcycle on Highway 6. An RV type vehicle decided to turn into a gas station at 80 KM/hr without signalling. The guy behind him, a civic, slammed on his brakes in hopes of not hitting the RV. I was behind the civic and had to brake extremely quickly in order to not hit the civic! (I was not tailgating). So apparently, my Ninja was not a big fan of braking hard at 80 KM/hr and locked up the front tire. I was thrown from my bike and the bike slid into the oncoming lane. Thankfully, I rolled, slid, and banged around in the comfort of my own lane.
After all this, besides some road rash here and there, I am doing surprisingly well today. I believe this is mainly due to all the gear I was wearing plus my backpack that I had on, which contains even more armour. However, I can't say the same for my baby Ninja which was deemed as a total loss by my insurance company :(
So just wanted to give an update. Hopefully no one has to go through the same experience because it truly is traumatizing.
Ride safe, folks!
