Well the other night some friends and I went to see the new Wolverine movie, and I decided I'd ride my Kat. On the way there, it was dry and calm outside. Some clouds, but I didn't think much of it. When the movie was over, it was pouring rain... the kind of really torrential rain that my desert city of Reno almost never sees...
So needless to say I was a bit worried, but knew I needed to get home. Between the headlights being ineffective on wet roads, my tinted helmet visor, and the fact I have only been riding for a few weeks, it was not fun riding home. I felt like I had to take corners very cautiously, and didn't go above 55 on the freeway.
Made it home safely, thankfully, but I hope I don't have to try that again. What are some tips that you more experienced riders have for riding in the rain?
