just wondering how many of you ride in the rain? i sold my car earlier this week, cause i'll be leaving in a month for the service. i just bought a rain suit but haven't used it yet, just wanted to know if there are some good tips for riding, besides the obvious one of going slower..
1. most dangerous rain is when the storm first begins because the oil has yet to be washed off the streets and is now sitting on top of the water.
2. any painted things on the road will become slippery, lines, etc..especially the large arrows
3. keep your eyes peeled for puddles, for danger of hydro planing
4. allow for more time in everything you do, turning, braking, changing lanes, etc.
...all i got off the top of my head
***Just though of this...make sure to maintain that chain if your riding in the rain frequently.
