Can anyone recommend a good motorcycle rain suit? I still may ride to the GP race in Austin in April so I'd like to have all the bases covered just in case.

Dainese makes a nice rain suit but its a bit pricy. If you want a cheap just in case type thing, frogtogs work well. Not nearly as good looking but they work.

I have a Nelson Rigg two-piece that works really well... but is hotter than Hades. It's a discontinued model, so I don't know if their current line is as effective or as blisteringly hot.
Is it a bright color?  |

Awesome. Thanks for the replies and link Frogg-Toggs it is. They also fold up really nicely and will fit in the panniers or backpack. |

Frog Toggs is da bomb. Road home from Arkansas once in a total soaker of a rainstorm and I stayed completely dry. Make sure you get the higher end model that I think are designed for boaters. I have seen some wimpy versions at Wal Mart. It will be pretty obvious which one you want.

It looks like froggtoggs makes things to go over your boots too. They're an additional 65 bucks... In for a penny, in for a pound at that point I guess.

I'm surprised you didn't use the BMW reflective tape |

I've used Tour Master suits in the past but for years I have been a fan of the Dry Rider suits. That and Tote rain boot covers. I use the XL size (even though my riding boots are Euro 44 size) to make sure they will fit over my Sidi boots. When it's warm I say screw it and use my normal Joe Rocket full length road race style gloves... let them get soaked. On multi day rides I always take a back up pair so the wet pair can dry in the motel room on the next day's ride.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!
I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!
The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Very cool! More choices to investigate |

You may want to check out Revzilla online. Good customer service IMO.
They have closeouts that you might like.
