Re: Wet riding confidence
I have had similar experiances; my first big wet weather ride was coming home down the A24 from brighton to london. Really horrible weather. But I thought if im smooth, and relaxed, and hang off a little bit, then I can pull the bike round corners and keep up a decent pace, get back to my flat in good time.
So I did just that; I was suprised at how well my MEZ6's performed in the rain. I had one slide on a metal manhole cover that i just couldnt avoid - i saw it, relaxed myself, and let the bike go over. Little twitch. Then carried on as normal.
The SV is very forgiving in the rain; I have had a few slides, but always felt in control. Testement to the MEZ6's aswell, they are a great tyre in the wet...least, better than the MEZ4's I had on before!
