[QUOTE="RenoJohn, post: 290710, member: 3145"] I won't wait to applaud him, instead I'll aplaud him now for RIDING the bike. The bike does very well in the rain, partly because the pig it is ...hard to hydroplane. Sure, go slower in the wet, but 70MPH? that is nothing and the bike does fine. With a capable pilot it can go around cars in dry, with the same pilot it can do it in wet. My point being if you're not capable of going around cars in the wet, are you capable of doing it in the dry?? ...same factors and often times more important to get away (around) cars and other obstacles in the rain.For this pilot, ice is a much tougher, but sometimes that is what nature deals you ...but in ice, then I'll give the nod to the cages and keep my distance by avoiding them as much as possible.
