How to drive a motorcycle with rain

If we have to take the bike when it is raining, we should be even more cautious than usual when driving this two-wheeled vehicle, as the grip will decrease while increasing the possibility that we will fall. There are several things that we must take into account, therefore, we explain how to drive a motorcycle with rain.

one

The adherence of the asphalt always decreases due to rain, however, the situation is not the same on all roads. To test the level of grip and, with it, how cautious we must be when driving the bike, we can use the rear brake and check how long it takes to skid the rear wheel.

two

More than ever, we must try not to step on elements that we usually find in our layout as sewers or cracks patched with tar, since with the rain they become real skating rinks. The same happens with the paint stripes of the road.

We should not drive with insecurity, but with much more respect than usual. Our driving must be very smooth, without sudden responses to the events of the circulation and for this we must be very attentive to everything that surrounds us.

4

As for our equipment, the screen of the helmet becomes very important, since our visibility will be greatly reduced with rain . If we have it, we will use a helmet with anti-fog system.

The team to drive bikes on rainy days will be completed with windbreaker, pants, gloves and waterproof boots, which will make our body is protected and our attention does not deviate from the important: the road.

6

If, despite everything, we suffer the dreaded aquaplaning the least bad option in these situations is not to stop and only try to control the bike through the handlebar. Keep in mind that aquaplaning is usually given right after it has just rained, when the asphalt is wet.

With less grip, the braking distance will be greater, so the safety distance that we must always keep with the vehicle that precedes us must be even greater.
