Thread 'Riding in the rain'

Mar 14, 2005

For all of you people who live in Florida, you know it can be sunny as can be one hour, and dark and stormy the next. I left the house this morning and about an hour later it was pouring rain. I havent been riding for a long time and was wondering if there are any suggestions or tips (things to do and things not to do) to make it a safer ride in the rain. I dont mind riding straight, but turning in the rain scares me! Thanks a lot!

With all you nanny functions turned down & good traction ~ would be much easier with a passenger to hook up •

It should.
Are you trying to?

I agree yes it should but be careful because if you’re not use to knowing how to control the bike when it wheelies you may end up in trouble.

The front tire should start to leave the ground in 1st or 2nd gear at around 6k rpms, assuming wide open throttle from idle.
That's a basic power wheelie, and the front wheel will fall down hard as soon as the rev limiter hits...assuming you didn't already crash...
