Something else to consider...
Yes, I've experienced hydroplaning....simple solution...slooooow down. But I have also discovered that road surfaces can contribute to hydroplaning....for example WYOMING roads are realllllly slick....many times I'm on WY rainy roads and slowed down...cross onto Montana roads and no issue can kick the throttle up. So for me I never put all my eggs in one basket...If it's raining...after I gear up (delicate flower that I am!! :roflblack::roflblack:)...I get a feel for the road surface...but only on rare occasions am I in such a rush that I'm not willing to slow to the conditions. Having ryding even when it is raining. Remember the show SINGING IN THE RAIN? I take on that attitude...:thumbup::yes:
I have skidded tires on two wheels
and I have been afraid to get "down" on the brakes on wet and slick roadways. So far the Spyder has given me better confidence in wet conditions, and I am glad to have nanny there to keep me in line should one of the three wheels start slipping and not equal the others' rpms. I've usually felt this when the lane tracks start filling with water on older "furrowed" roads, and just another reminder to SLOW down. Overall, the driver protection from the elements and nanny along with the three wheels makes for a better ryde even in the rain!
