April showers may bring May flowers, but they also put a frown on a lot of rider\u2019s faces.\u00a0 For most, riding in the rain isn\u2019t that enjoyable and some of you may just skip riding all together until the sun comes back out.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a long winter, though, and riding time can be a scarce commodity if the rain puts you out of commission.\u00a0 But fear not, with the right gear, attitude and skills, riding in the rain can be just as enjoyable.<\/p>

Waterproof Gear<\/strong><\/p>

Getting caught in a downpour is never fun, but if you have the right waterproof motorcycle gear<\/a>, you can continue to ride comfortably and dry (for the most part).\u00a0 When riding in the rain, it\u2019s important to stay focused on your actions.\u00a0 If you are constantly fighting to stay dry and warm, your mind is going to wander and you\u2019ll begin to stress more.\u00a0 Choose the right gear and you’ll be singing in the rain (fortunately your exhaust will muffle that).<\/p>

If you plan on riding in the rain often, finding gear that is waterproof and breathable is extremely important.\u00a0 Wearing rain suits that don\u2019t breathe is like wearing a sauna suit.\u00a0 Your perspiration can\u2019t escape and you might end up just as drenched as if you had no suit at all.\u00a0 Those kind of rain suits are good quick fixes if you happen to get caught, but waterproof breathable is the way to go.\u00a0 Products made from Gore-Tex\u00ae and similar breathable fabrics have openings that are smaller than water droplets but are big enough for vapor (evaporated sweat) to escape.<\/p>

Make sure your gloves and boots are waterproof as well.\u00a0 You can even get boot covers if you don\u2019t want to invest in a new pair of waterproof boots.\u00a0 It\u2019s also a bonus if your gloves have the little squeegee to clear your helmet’s face shield.<\/p>

Helmets do tend to fog in rainy conditions.\u00a0 This can be solved if you have a Pinlock\u00ae shield system on your helmet.\u00a0 The added shield on the inside will create a dual pane effect to eliminate the fogging.\u00a0 You will also want to keep your helmet vented to the max to let the moisture escape.\u00a0 Sometimes cracking the shield just a bit can go a long ways.<\/p>

Avoid Shiny Surfaces<\/strong><\/p>

Shiny surfaces are dangerous enough on your bike when it\u2019s dry out, but it\u2019s a whole other story when they become wet.\u00a0 Anything metal, like railroad tracks and manholes should be avoided when it\u2019s raining. \u00a0In addition, anything painted on the road can be very slick as well.\u00a0 Tiny glass beads are usually added to these painted surfaces to give them a rough texture for grip, but after a while, they wear off and the slippery paint is exposed once again.\u00a0 Riding on wet road paint can be like trying to ride on ice.<\/p>

If you do have to cross these surfaces, lower your speed and straighten your bars.\u00a0 When you hit them straight, you greatly lower the risk of sliding out.<\/p>

Let the Rain Clean the Road<\/strong><\/p>

The pores in roads are giant oil and debris collectors when it is dry out.\u00a0 Once it rains, all of the oil and debris is brought to the surface again to make for some very slippery patches.\u00a0 The rain will eventually wash it away, usually about a half hour depending on how hard it is raining. That time can be used\u00a0for a pit stop, but if you need or want to continue riding, you should extra caution when it first begins to rain.<\/p>

Choose Your Path Wisely<\/strong><\/p>

Unless you are riding a brand new, perfectly built road, water will begin pool up in many areas.\u00a0 Of course, hitting puddles is not ideal and there are ways to minimize your chances of hitting them.\u00a0 Most roads are built with a crown in the center.\u00a0 In other words, the road will slope off to each side of the center.\u00a0 When you ride near the center of the road, you are not only guarding your lane, but you are also riding in the highest point.<\/p>

On older and heavily used roads, ruts can be grooved in to where the cars and trucks drive the most.\u00a0 Those ruts tend to develop puddles of water faster than other areas of the road.\u00a0 If you have the road to yourself, you can ride near the crown or in the middle of the ruts. \u00a0Conversely, when there is other traffic ahead of you, the cars can actually push the water out and even act as a squeegee to get that nasty oil and debris off faster.\u00a0 Where you ride all depends on how much rain has fallen.<\/p>

Be Smooth with Your Controls<\/strong><\/p>

Any mistakes that you make while riding are greatly exaggerated when the roads are wet and you have\u00a0less traction.\u00a0 That means that you need to be on top of your game when using any and all of your controls.\u00a0 Be smooth when you roll on and off the throttle.\u00a0 Let that clutch out easy and be smooth on the brakes.\u00a0 Your body positioning is more critical when it is wet, too.<\/p>

You may find that riding in the rain will actually make you a better rider.\u00a0 By learning to control your bike with minimal traction, you will have even more confidence in your abilities on dry surfaces.\u00a0 Just don\u2019t let your ego get too big and push the limits too far.<\/p>

So there you have it.\u00a0 If you follow these tips, riding in the rain can not only be successful, but fun as well.\u00a0 After all, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about anyways, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>

What are your tips for riding in the rain and wet conditions?
