was out with an IAM guy, he was on a GS1150 (I think) and me on the SV.

Was absolutley p.i.s.s.i.n.g down and he noticed that I was a bit timid especially when cornering.

He then asked me to follow him and can honestly say, thats when my fear of wet riding disappeared. He was on the limit most of the way and I was determined to keep up with him (we were always within the speed limits) although he did make sure that if I at all felt uncomfortable, then I was to drop off the speed.

We did the route a few times and by the end of the night, I was a different rider, I also found that the SV could really handle in the wet no problem.

Like you say in your post ps, sounds like I was like yourself but feel much more confident now as you do.
