Just a couple of tips on riding motorbikes in the rain, why we should trust our equipment somewhat, and just a thought or two on how good our tyres (tires) actually are in the rain. Motorcycle manufacturers have spent billions on researching safety aspects on their bikes and combined with the tyre manufacturers, we're in safe hands as long as we respect the conditions we ride in. I'll be uploading a more substantial video in due course however one main tip is to look ahead and read the road and act accordingly, early braking - generally 50%/50% front & rear and progressive use of the controls, imagine fading in music on your stereo with a nice round dial, just smoothly easing the volume up and down, that's how to control your bike accelerator, clutch and brakes and even more so in the wet.
