Traveling by motorcycle is definitely an adventure full of surprises, most of them very pleasant, but after a while, one encounters some situations, which can be intimidating from the outset, especially the first time we meet them. One of them is riding a motorcycle in the rain.
Traveling by motorcycle in the rain has its magic, however, water and motorcycles have their differences.
Fortunately, technology is on our side and offers us many tools that we can use to our advantage when traveling by motorcycle in the rain, so that this does not mean staying at home.
The basic thing before going out to shoot under a rainy day is to bring the appropriate equipment , there are many options of waterproof clothing on the market that solve the issue of cold and humidity quite well. It is important, because we could not drive our motorcycle with a frozen body. The most modern motorcycles have a heating system.
Boots, jacket, pants, gloves and very importantly, a suitable helmet , there are many types of helmets manufactured especially for this type of situation, helmets that prevent the visor from fogging up on the inside and that manage to remove excess water on the outside to give us good visibility.
Another very convenient contribution of technology is the ABS braking system. Braking on wet ground can definitely be much riskier, the tires don't have the same grip , but a motorcycle with ABS can save us a hard time. It is important to maintain our motorcycle before riding , especially if it will be under conditions such as a rainy day. To brake on a wet surface it is advisable to do it little by little, well in advance and gently .
However, even with all the help of technology, the most important thing is the skill of the pilot . An experienced pilot knows how to react to these types of circumstances, as he has surely faced them before and learned from his mistakes.
Take extreme precautions, slow down and make smooth movements, don't get too close to other vehicles, stay visible and enjoy the rain.
