And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

What if you signed up for a track day. Would you forfeit your prepayed entry?
It wouldn't be as pleasant or desirable, but I'd still rail around for $300 bucks.GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ESComment

I live in the Pacific NW too, but I never ride in the rain if I can help it. Risking my life will never be something I adopt to.

There are levels of risk. I'm willing to accept the risk of motorcycling on dry pavement, but not on wet. I've gone down on a busy freeway trying to brake on wet pavement. I learned my lesson.Comment

I know exactly what you mean. I've been in that situation when all the braking I could controllably use in the rain was not going to be enough.
My solution is to brake as much as I can until I have minimum manuvering space remaining and then forget the brakes, put a little throttle back into it and use manuverability to avoid. There is no rule that says you must manuver on road. :-)
