Motorcycle Security: Locks and GPS trackers
Discover effective methods to protect your motorcycle against theft using mechanical locks and smart GPS …
Essential gear and preparation
Riding your motorcycle in the rain doesn't have to be a miserable or dangerous experience, provided you are well prepared. It all starts with high-visibility, 100% waterproof gear to keep you dry and focused. Equally critical is your helmet visor; ensure you have a Pinlock anti-fog insert installed to maintain clear vision in humid conditions. Never get caught out in a sudden storm unprepared.
Wet weather riding techniques
When the asphalt gets wet, your riding inputs must become exceptionally smooth.
- Throttle and brakes: Avoid sudden acceleration or aggressive braking. Squeeze the brake lever progressively rather than grabbing it.
- Keep your distance: Significantly increase your following distance to allow for longer stopping times.
- Watch the road surface: Avoid painted road lines, manhole covers, and rainbow-coloured oil patches, which become incredibly slippery.
