I just did 32 miles on a HD Road Glide in horrendous weather to drop the bike back at EagleRider in Orlando.

Probably in the top 3 worst riding conditions I’ve ever experienced. Deep standing water all over the highway and literally riding through the bow waves of massive Mack trucks.

This is the view from the Uber ride home:

I was absolutely soaked to the skin. So much so that the lady at EagleRider gave me a dry T-shirt to wear and said “No charge - consider it a reward for bravery!”
 
I can trump that....400Km in rain (various intensity) from Calais to Cologne on the way to Garmisch . The gear was over 10 years old, noted and everything was sold off (as no longer waterproof) when I returned home. Now back to layering. New gear purchased.
First time in 38 years of riding that I encountered this kind of weather in August.
