In the wet I ride with higher reves than normal. Anywhere from 4 to 5 thou. I use my brakes as little as pos and use the engine braking instead. You will find that upping the revs the bike will track better in the wet. When you do brake see that your bike is upright and not leaning over. Just ride to the conditions and always keep an eye out for an escape route. I usually keep hard into the centre line where poss. Reduces road spray and gives an escape route for most situations.

One of the other problems with riding in the rain is reduced visibility, fogging inside your visor and rain on the outside, there are a range of antifog visors that can improve this, I also find that keeping the outside of the visor clean helps reduce the rain on it, I wax my visor as opposed to using fog inserts, I find that it reduces fog on the inside and helps the water run off the outside

Ride to the conditions. Might sound like a nana but it's that simple isn't it? If you can... do, if you can't... don't! If you think you're going to fast you most likely are! In the wet stay safe. Is it better to get there quickly or to fall off trying to get there quickly?
I'm just asking, not assuming anything...
Have Fun... or don't do it!!!
