[QUOTE="RenoJohn, post: 291753, member: 3145"] and my point was that riding in wet is part of riding ...and it takes skills just like riding in the dry. If you don't have those skills, maybe you ought to not be on the road ...(that is what I did a poor job of trying to say) Lived in the city for a while, commuted over the bay bridge for a longer while. Vast majority in a cage, rarely on bike. I share you thoghts, nothing is more scary for me than tight traffic in adverse weather ...and while the FJR is stong on stability, it gives a poor perch to see much as it is short and put rider forward. Good for the folks that can ride the heavy traffic, but just like high speed lane splitting, I'll say no thanks. We all have different environments, riding styles, experience and strengths ...so IMO not appropriate for someone to tell someone else how to ride ...especially from the keyboard, especially if done insultingly. We all can use riding tips, insults from a keyboard jockey don't do much to help. [/QUOTE]
