Riding in the wet

I pretty much ride exactly the same in the wet as I do in the dry. I just don't do max acceleration as the back wheel spins up, I avoid painted lines and metal work, and avoid heavy braking on the front tyre, as it does lock up a lot easier and can get away from you.
I don't go out icy condition.

Quite differently then  :lol

I went out on my bike about three years ago and it nearly rained and I could almost swear I got very, very slightly dampish but just maybe it was my imagination.


Don't do rain, I worked Self Employed (Brickie) on the building sites for 53 years sometimes in the sunshine but often in the rain, got soaked trying to earn a living, standing in the footings in 3 inches of water with your legs jammed up against the wet muddy sides of trenches with water trickling down between the cheeks of my arse. Steam coming up off you soaking wet back. Fuck riding in the rain. :rolleyes
