    Im probably a tad overcautious

    I'm not that keen on riding in the wet, but then I'm in palmy and when its wet, its usually really wet and windy, got no choice now either, no car anymore.

    About the worst thing is that it seems every other corner on the way to work has a bloody manhole cover right in my preferred line.

    I don't have the power at the mo to worry about spinning up unexpectedly, but looking forward to learning to be aware of that as well.

    Another thing to be aware of in wet weather anywhere is that there are more cars on the road which puts everybody in a bit of a rush, which means cars are less likely to see bikes.
    If at first you don't succeed, then Sky diving aint for you!

    I am happy to ride when ever and where ever. I try to avoid we gravle if i can, but if it is in a root to a place then i just go with it and slow down. If you ride to the conditions then there is no reson to be scared of the conditons.

    It's never fun when you have to don all your gear just to get bloody wet. What amazes me everytime is that the more you ride in the rain the better it does for your confidence. And that can't be a bad thing.
    Give me sunshine and dry roads any day though.

    Typical, It's beautiful outside and I'm stuck in the friggin office.
