Oh yeah. I was one of two who did. The rest of the people couldn't handle the conditions which included being soaked to the bone. They were newbies, I have about two years experience annnnd, I'm a bit more used to erm... how bikes react in the elements and how to deal with skids, hydroplaning, and back tires spinning out. And I had better gear.
(my little orange bike did not like it one bit. you've seen it, the little Yamaha with the Autobot decal. It had trouble starting. Hell, all of the bikes did... it was in the negatives out there. Made me long for expensive electrically heated gear, despite wearing my thermals.)
... and then I had to ride home in it. Bleh. [/rant]
