Hate that feeling...

When you have an amazing sleep and you are ready to ride and it gets ruined by that pitter patter sound of rain on your window.

I wish it was spring again =[

Put your rain gear on and ride away.

The limit is in your mind, just take the challenge of mother nature.

Nothing stopping you from riding but yourself.

For all the people on this forum that try to avoid any risky situations, I'd think that the majority of people try to avoid the rain.

Rain reduces visibility, increases braking distance, less friction on the already skinny Ninja tires, etc.

I always find my visibility better on the bike...I feel too enclosed in a car especially when the windows get foggy, when I'm out in the open I'm a lot more comfy.
Also skinny tires do better in wet conditions than fat ones. There is less of a contact patch therefore less chances of hydroplaning.
The real risk is braking and turning in fresh rain combined with cold pavement and tires...
I've been down a few times because of that.
