Many people decide to stop riding when the first autumn rain comes down. If your guts tell you to go out there and try you may want to prepare yourself first, to ensure a good and safe ride through the rain.

1)Adjust the speed, be mindful

Slippery and wet surfaces are your biggest enemies. It doesn’t mean though that you should tuck your bicycle away in the garage 🙂

Be aware of it and observant enough to know where to slow down, adjust the way you accelerate and use brakes. 

Accelerating: Do not accelerate aggressively on the slippery surface.

Braking: To prevent traction issues, start braking earlier than usual and leave more space between the vehicle behind and in front of you.

2)Weatherproof clothing

You want to be able to feel comfortable and unconstrained. With the clothes, all wet and soaking in it might feel unpleasant and not easy to move. You need both to have control over how you handle your motorcycle.
