Bad weather riding can be more complex and dangerous than other conditions.\u00a0 Some motorcycle riders find it enjoyable and rewarding riding in the rain but some may not actively seek out that kind of fun.\u00a0 The key to riding in the rain is three highly variable factors: traction, visibility and comfort.<\/p>\n
Traction<\/strong><\/p>\n No matter what type of tires you have the best way to deal with wet roads is to slow down.\u00a0 A lower speed will allow you a better braking distance and reduces your lean angle in turns.\u00a0 Make sure to stay upright so your weight is applied perpendicular to the road to increase the amount of traction available to you.\u00a0 Avoid making sudden turns and unnecessary swerves.\u00a0 Watch out for standing water to avoid hydroplaning. \u00a0Look\u00a0for gravel and dirt on the roadways during rainy days and reduce your speed on turns.<\/p>\n
