Thats strange... I saw you more as a full body prophylactic suit wearer. Just seems fitting.

Marty, I can't help you as I just don't ride in the rain. I'm too old for that stuff now.

I'm lucky enough to live in a small town, if it starts raining, I throw on a sweater (obviously not waterproof) and just rush it home. Yeah it gets wet, but it still blocks the sting from the rain and I don't have to go far. I always have gloves + a full face helmet, so I don't have to worry about those. I do carry a poncho but I think it would just flutter around, never tried to use it yet :P

I too am interested in scooter aprons. For now I wear a Columbia rain jacket and the rest is the same as dry riding. If I have to carry anything, I pull out a gortex XXL rain jacket so I have plenty of room for an oversized backpack under the jacket. Have you found a Spree or Elite specific apron? I have looked at Zuma aprons for winter use but have yet to find a Honda specific apron.
