Si-man Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 nope, its only wind and rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerz Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 No way, i like to ride in the rain as it's good practice, so in the dry things become easyer plus in the wet i tend to learn new techniques of getting over things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 if you wont to ride just ride what ever the weather, but were a helmet in the wet your brakes mite slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzy Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 The weather in Cumbria isn't exactly the warmest or dryest weather around but it's no too bad and I'm Never usually put off riding because of bad weather. I don't mind rain, but wind can often put me off when it's really strong. Normally I just go out and ride because it's not like bad weather will harm us will it? Unless you get blown off a high drop or something of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flas12345 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 hithe wether doesn't really stop me from riding. if it is mega raining then yeah it does id rather stay in when its like that, but over the weekend it was really wet but me and mates went out riding anyway. i am runing plazmatics on the front and rear are they worked mint for me in the wet, would reccommend to anyone. my mate is only running kool-stops though and his brake was slipping really bad but he still rode and he was ok.cheers lou.

selby1 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 it depends how bad i wanna ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyrider07 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 weather doesnt usually bother me but dont like to mess my bike up, so depends on how bad i want to ride and how bad the weather is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 personally i find i tap a lot more in the wet.... think it takes a lot of strain off of the rear brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'll ride in wind or light rain, but i don't ride if its tipping it down. Same way as i don't walk to the shops or to the pub. I don't enjoy being out in the wet and whats the point in riding if i don't enjoy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyfey Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Yeah Moto_Psycho and I were out earlier! Doing some (rather small) drop-offs off a wall. Seemed high though!! Then it started pissing down and I didn't trust my brakes or tyres lol I changed my inner tube earlier and it had 5 patches on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moto_psycho Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 just measured compared to myself, about 3 3/4 foot, not too bad considering we were only doing a few inches a couple of days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
