Dry up questions about Rain Gear!

It is no secret that this summer has been extremely dry. I was shocked when I noticed a large crack in my yard dirt, that extended from where the yard started at my house foundation, out about 15 ft. It made me think of those cartoons where the ground splits and there is no bottom in site. I guess, I need to pull out the water hose and spray my yard. Anyways, I thought this would be good time to tell you about how to pick the best Harley-Davidson® Rain Gear for your riding purposes. I heard it may rain here locally tonight and since the season change is right around the corner we may need some rain gear. So...
