April Showers Bring May Flowers Tips for Riding in the Rain Riding in the rain. No one likes to but sometimes you just get caught in it or need to be someplace. Here are just a few tips to get you to your destination a little safer. 1: If possible, wait a few minutes to let the oils/fluids and grit that has built up on the road run off the road, making the roads less slick. Wait longer if it's been awhile since it rained last. 2: Be seen. Wear a bright colored rainsuit. Fluorescent yellow or orange with reflective striping. Or bright riding gear. 3: Slow down and increase your following distance. Wet roads increase stopping distances. 4: Add lights to your MC, front and back. Do so before a time comes when you might have to ride in the rain. These lights will help you be more visible to others day and night in any riding conditions. 5: Use smooth throttle control so the rear tire does not slip out from under you. 6: Relax. Riding tense, in any conditions, makes for a tiring unsafe ride. These are just a few tips to get you to your destination a little safer. RWP, Ride Safe and Practice often.
