It's all about being smooth, controlled, weighting the pegs, hanging way off, combining the braking and rolling off, combining the getting off the brakes and rolling on, etc etc. ... All things you should be doing in the dry anyways... but more so. I feel like a lot of moments in the rain on the street that formerly would have caused me to crash, I could now handle very nicely. And yes... had some oh shit moments... but I was gradually increasing each lap so I knew I would get those moments and made sure to be prepared/relaxed for them and the bike takes care of it. The characteristics of each turn are amplified in the wet. I found that turn 2, which is normally a fairly high speed turn with knee down the whole time is a BITCH in the rain. Rear sliding around all the time. Had to take a different line through it, and still had the rear moving around every lap, but I came to expect it to happen and being relaxed, it was fine. Oh, and I forgot to mention this, and I know some other dudes did this that day.... I did a rolling burnout at around 90mph by mistake ![]()
