From the SuperTwins race at BHF.

First time riding in the wet.
Lots to learn.

Really smooth! Nice riding, that track doens't look like it has a lot of runoff though.

Ugh, I really hate to ride in the rain. I wish there was some way to meter just what a rain will handle without the potential consequences.

Very nice wet result.
I like the rain.
Years ago Colin Edwards on Castrol Honda raced at Assen in a hard rain in WSBK aginst Bayliss I think, incredible display of skill and the grip that Michelin rains provided.
Watching him today at Silverstone in the wet was also incredible considering his new titanium hardware.

Thanks guys, I was very cautious, but did work up a bit of speed later on.
I think that if/when it happens again, I will have the confidence to push a bit more.
