Been caught twice in heavy rainfall, I was actually more excited than scared.

I've been caught in the rain a few times, couple very heavy rain.

The bike was always well behaved, even when i opened the throttle at low speeds to spin the wheel (i get the urge sometimes). Stays stable.

Its not the rain or the bike you have to worry about, its the same old cars.

In fact, im thinking of getting a new sprocket with less teeth on it. Summers coming up [sm=badbadbad.gif]

First time in the rain was a down poor with a cross wind.I fried my phone and ended up drying my clothes in a truck stop. Bought a Tourmaster rain suit and use RainX on my helmet I'll go through a rain storm now with no problem.

Thought that rainx fogs up the shield with time.

rain is insanely fun. i got thru all 6 gears once on the 6 hunert and was only going literally 30mph, but i was pegged. it was wicked.
done plenty of sideways action. had the front slide once, but saved it.. scary.. other than that, i drifted the **** outta my 6, so i was use to going sideways. the 7 sucks for sliding tho.. [&:]

rain behavior depends mostly on the combination of tires and the riders throttle control. no sudden movements
