I had my bike going from side to side in the rain on Wednesday at 100km/h while passing a car. It was interesting, but I still thought it was fun.

I do ride in the rain at times and the side to side riding would be fun...after the fact. :lol:

I'll be the first to admit...I'm a performance driving cager first that just happens to enjoy bikes too. :lol

I don't mind riding in the rain. I don't go out specifically if it's raining but being caught in a down pour is no big deal. That being said, I don't get crazy. Keep it smooth and trust your equipment.

100 % in agreement.

I was riding another members Hayabusa Turbo here and my wife was riding his Ducati 999r last year heading back to his house returning from Laconia Bike Week in NH and got hit by a torrential downpour !!! We had no issues but it was a little unnerving to be riding someone else's machines. I was worried about the wife riding in this too but again...no issues.

Thanks to member 'nhgunnut'. :dthumb:

Right on. I'd be nervous on someone else's bike in the rain. I dont particularly like riding other people's bikes at all, much less in adverse conditions.

That point is huge.

I've never ridden with traction control but it must take HUGE nuts to pin the throttle and trust the computer not you spit you off the highside.

I'm sure there were at least a few pucker moments in that video.
