Riding in the rain?

Going by the way some people post on internet forums it 70/30 could be meant either way.

can guarantee the majority of accident black spots on the M20 in winter are on the concrete sections rather than the tarmacked bits.

thats seriously the problem with the M20 in heavy rain. The water doesnt shift anywhere and stays on the road. No matter how smooth I am with the controls it just is not a nice surface to be on with that much water.

And Id go down the A20 if it werent for the fact that road floods in places.
