Rain
So what is it like to ride in the rain?
Do you feel it's hard, the same or just a bit more caution.. -minus some people who do tricks in the rain
Wondering because driving to school to home is 9 miles and it downpours sometimes unexpected. Might have to drive to work too when it rains which is 20 miles.
These people on sport bikes I saw held their feet out on both sides while they were going (20/25mph).

stay away from the center of the lanes too! when the road gets wet, all the grease and oil from cars gets real slick! espacially around signal lights and stop signs. Also on lighter weight bikes, going fast on the wet is NOT a smart idea. Just use a lot of extra cation and if you REALLY wanna baby your bike, keep it at home on the rainys
peace out!

Also if you are pulling away from a stop light or stop sign, be careful not to get on the gas too hard or that rear tire will just spin and you won't be going anywhere...not real dangerous but watch our for idiot drivers behind you...to them green means go

Just be careful when it first starts raining, thats when its the slickest. and remember, you took a shower this morning (or sometime this week) and you dont melt, tensing up and getting all pissed isnt gonna help your riding. just be a bit more cautious and remember spinnin the tire in 2nd with the throttle only is alot of fun
