@DethBeard yes indeed. That first half hour of power (rain) is the danger zone.
@Yukirin totally. That’s what I thought too, about a heavier bike, then I realised I couldn’t bare moving one around. It’s the strong winds on dual carriageways that have me beat. I couldn’t bare the lack of power head-on, and feeling of the bike pushed sideways in the cross wind. Felt scarier than on a bicycle.
