    Could you tell where the spray was coming from? Was it the inside of the fender? Or was it at the bottom trailing edge (where vehicles would put a mud flap)?

    For the heavy stuff you need a rain suit OR waterproof everything. That is why we have waterproof textiles, boots, and gloves. When you need em, you need em. No fun riding wet and cold.

    Amen!!! Water resistant just won't cut it. That includes rain suits with hoods on the jackets that fit under helmets, waterproof boot covers, and gloves.

    After the ride home with a new RT 2 years ago, the first thing I put on was a mud flap on the back. My wife got soaked from the water coming up off the rear wheel. It was like a vortex sucking all the water out of the back of the bike and on to my wifes helmet and down her back. The mud flap helped.
