I tend not to alter my speed all that much. If I aquaplane then I'll knock a bit of speed off. If I aquaplane again I'll slow down a bit more. :wink:

The tyres offer more grip in the wet than most people think. :smile:

Im with Big Ape here, Though the 20MPH car drivers as soon as a spot of rain arrives doi tend to get in the way on London Roads

i have been scared to find out exactly how much grip the tires have when wet but i am progressively ridding harder on them when its wet out

In last years "wet season" I was getting quite used to spinning the rear out of corners. Not sure if the Dullsville even produces enough power to spin the rear on ice. :lol:

dullsville seems like an excellent idea though, i can't believe how cheap you got it. Certainly cheap long distance travel :) spinning the rear = great fun! just need to learn how to do only intentionally ;)
