How Do I Learn to Ride a Motorcycle in the Rain

There is an old saying “if you never ride your motorcycle in the rain you will never ride your motorcycle.” A lot of truth exists in those words. No one looks for the opportunity to ride in a storm. Riding in a thunderstorm with lightning landing around you, hair on your arm, neck standing from static charges will not create a desire to do that again.

What are the problems? There are two primary concerns facing a rider in the rain. The first one deals with the road surface, how long it has been since the last rain, and how much surface oil is floating on the road. The second is the loss of traction on a wet surface compared to a dry surface. Traction on a wet road surface is the same for a car or motorcycle excluding surface loss due to the size of the tires.
