Oh I don't like riding in the wet, it's not the cold or getting wet I mind, it's the fact that you have no chance of not binning it! Last time I crashed it was on the road, and I just touched the front brake and wham over I go!

So yeah.

Learn to ride in the rain and you'll beat all the pussies that have that attitutde,

**TygerTung** · 22nd July 2006, 13:43

I'll keep that in mind.

What do you do if you have slicks?

you carry on at the same speed (or close to it)

There is a lot more traction on slicks in the wet than you would think

funny that... they guy on the mic today at the races was saying that they are not making any more of these and no-one is bringing any more into the cuntry, and he thinks that the class will die a slow death....
your coment on that?

**Sketchy_Racer** · 22nd July 2006, 19:43

na you must be thnking about the RG150s.....

And yeah hes right.

but the FXR is still in production

**TonyB** · 22nd July 2006, 19:44

A slow death?

I ride a GP125, Dangerous rides a MB100, Diesel Pigs "new" bike uses the chopped barrel and piston from a RG400. None of these bikes have been made for over a decade. Yep, he's right, it'll be a slow death.

**diesel pig** · 22nd July 2006, 20:45

I was going to add Kickaha's GN125 but they still make those, Which is a good thing cause they make the best handling bucket by far.

**TygerTung** · 22nd July 2006, 20:59

Yeah my classic amazing CG125 is a 1978 model, so noone rides new bikes anyway.

Mate, I've ridden thousands of K's in the wet. Haven't fallen off in the wet yet, you should have plenty of grip for braking. Did you brake on shiney tar or diesel or something? Sooner or later you will have to ride in the wet, so it'd be a good idea to sort it out.
