I here you ..Just love wet riding ...Im the king on a wet race track ...Shocking how fast a bike will go in the rain and not fall over lol...It sure gets the pucker factor up in the old brain ... The brain just screams "Your gona die ...!!!!!" ... I just give her more gas ...Denial really helps to be fast on a bike that and leaving your brain in the freezer at home when you ride ...But motorcycles are not a rational endeaver on a good day let alone in the rain...

I remember taking my motorcycle test in the rain... talk about pucker factor. At least if you fall in a parking lot you might get somebody laughing at you but fall on a test and you don't receive your endorsement

I'm in the middle of taking my BRC this week and 2 of the 4 days has been rain. Nothing like learning to do full lock figure eights in the rain. The good news is though, that it wasn't the first rain of the day. I got caught in a cloud burst one day and all the oil and dirt came up with the initial downpour and it was basically like riding on ice. Riding in the rain after it's been going for awhile is fine though.
