This will help them get a grip a lot sooner than just riding alone does. Still, stay off the wet roads until you've got some miles on them. Have fun.
Never fear. I plan on being a dry roads rider. When I had the Vstrom I was equiped for wet weather, cold weather with heated gear down to my toes. No matter what, I will likely always have availaible rain gear onboard for insurance just in case. Sunshine riding and some night time riding once I hang some real lights on the bike.
We are being treated to the Vancouver bike show this weekend. I have always enjoyed it so I will probably go. I might be fortunate enough to find some farkles there and use my debit card since my Credit card decided to leave the collective. Tried to call M/C and couldn't even get my info accepted on their system.
If I ever find my shuttle craft and lift off to the Mothership I'm going back to my home planet where everything is free.
