[Water Warrior 2]

Wind, mud, potholes, forest rats and other road hazards all add to the excitment of living on 2 wheels. Wind, just grip the tank with your legs/knees and keep your arms and hands a bit loose. It comes with pratice, just don't tense up and freeze solid behind the bars. Potholes, dodge them. If you can't then pull yourself forward and slightly up to take weight off the seat. Your back will thank you. On my Vstrom I just stand up but keep my legs slightly bent. works great. Rain grooves on the road: Stay loose. The bike will dance under you but it really won't fall down. Same with steel deck bridges. Search for different road surfaces for the experience and you won't get caught totally unprepared later on.
Forest rats(deer) and other mobile critters should be a voided. Practice your emergency stops. Remember do not hit anything that can not be eaten in one meal.
