i've come off once in the rain and it was due to the steel edging on a man hole cover (the square ones)... Do you use narrow risers? short stem? obviously this will contribute to alot more sway for very little movement.
I tend to throw my weight slightly in the opposite direction to which im steering... for me i feel it balances the weight out a bit. And also riding at a mid speed, not incredibly fast so i get no grip and not slow enough to force my weight unevenly.
Saying that i'll probably find myself sliding chest first down the road soon.
