[QUOTE="dbvolfan, post: 400817, member: 2122"] Slabbing it in the rain while wearing a good rainsuit....no issue, do it at least once week to/from work. Hitting the twisties in the rain, that is a different story for me. I love the twiesites but when wet I lose all confidence. That probably stems from two bad bicycle accidents I had during races almost 10 years ago under similar circumstances. The bike just slid out from under me at ~40mph on a downhill decent. Have had the willies ever since then for the twisties. Several of us on Keith's E. KY ride hit the Nada Tunnell loop today following a severe T-storm and I pretty much white knuckled it the entire way afraid to lean for that same reason while the other two pretty much were at home. Have ridden that same route in the fall when dry and had no concerns or issues whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
