For the avid yearly riders and anyone else who rides in both wet and dry street conditions, I have this question for you;
- given the same corner that you may take at say 60 miles per hour dry, how much speed do you drop when its wet? Assuming oils are gone, gravel is nil and visibility is good making all factors equal.
Perhaps its not really about speed but trust in the tires grip to stick through the corner. How much does your style change in the wet conditions? Obviously be smooth and more planing than for the same dry conditions.
