Thanks again to everyone for their insight and experiences. This has given me greater confidence.

Let's ride!

Don't be shocked when, if you hydroplane unexpectedly, you feel and see cruise control suddenly disengage. Nanny is quick to turn of CC when the tires start slipping around or spinning loosely.

This is true if one wheel hydroplanes. I've experienced that. However, if both front tires hydroplane at the same instant, cruise won't disengage, and the rear will try to come around. I've experienced that also.

My advice is, heavy rain, no cruise control.

I have to agree....that's a real nice video, I have been planning a trip to Colorado soon myself and taking both of my trikes. As for driving in wet weather is great on my rs spyder. As long as the front end stays put the rear end always follows it. The rear may slip a bit but it always seems to bite down and ride it's way out of any trouble. The real trick is to learn your bike, just like learning to deal with disabilities...you need to own the ride!
