I been riding for two yrs now and I still feel like this when it's wet outside, mainly due to an off I had in my first few months of riding. There is no harm in being careful and that's how I think of it, so what if it takes me an extra millisecond round that bend/corner. As long as you do it sfely for you and other road users is all what matters.
