RAIN - The great leveller!
After all the discussions to get DD of the ground, which bike, which tyres, big bore, etc......

We get rain and the difference will have to be the riders ability, bravery and confidence.

Don't you just wish you went out in the wet on trackdays now!

A perfect start to the DD season.

Thoughts?

I'm a bit worried about this - there's been a few people having issues with their bikes. I hope everyone makes it through.

I never rode (quickly) under the rain.
I don't like the rain.
But as the bike is a race bike, I think I won't be as scared as I could be with my road bike. It doesn't mean I will be fast, but I'll try.

It doesn't hurt so much when you fall off in the rain (providing you don't hit anything solid)

Just take a good book with you, coz you'll slide for miles!!
