It could be done with a bit about riding in the wet IMO.
Ive been riding for around 6 weeks now on the road and It was only last friday when I was out in the rain that I experienced my first tank slapping session. I was coming off a roundabout and was picking up speed at my usual rate. Back end just starts weaving.
Ive got years of experience riding offroad so I coped well and slapping was calmed as soon as I felt it. Only got about 2 minor right/left's before I managed to stop it. Rest of the ride in the rain was spent in 5/6th
Also, over here in the UK we have little 2x2inch metal plates that line pedestrial crossings. I got a little scare going over them in the wet to.
I dislike the rain.
