Reminded me of my motor cross days on a maico 250....the worst of it was hitting flooded country roads in
the dark...even with HIDs on full blast it's hard if impossible to see the water...
let alone judge the depth or speed of the flow....
Drizzle in the dark lanes is a pain in the ass too....constant wiping the visor with the back of the hand
Andy constantly having to lift the visor a tad to demist...
Recent winds had banked soggy leaves on some bends....making lean in very interesting...to be avoided
Greasy lanes many with the remnants of tractor mud and cattle excrement defiantly added to the excitement
Softening the suspension and using higher gears thus keeping the
at lower revs helped to
Ensure the rear wheel had less of a chance to spin up...few othe tricks like staying close to the crown of
the road, off side wheel track, helped to avoid most of the debris lying about.

Winter riding joys are many....but does need heightened levels of concentration and awareness
Enjoy out there....have fun but be safe..
