Riding a motorcycle in the rain

Posted by Derek Clarke on Thursday, November 10, 2022, In : Motorbike Riding Tips

Riding a motorcycle in the rain provides the rider with challenges. Challenges that are met via a skill set previously gained, but now with the need to enhance and extend.

The single biggest danger faced by any motorcycle rider is the inability to see properly. Rain hitting the visor reduces visibility – the heavier the rain the more reduced visibility. If your visibility is reduced slow down to an appropriate speed.

Finger visor wiper blades can be purchased, either as an add-on that fits ov...

Posted by Spartan Motorcycle Couriers on Wednesday, July 1, 2020, In : Advanced Motorcycle Riding Course

Advanced motorbike training is often less expensive than you might imagine.

That makes it a great way to improve your riding, save some money, and also meet other local riders.

Posted by Martin Jones on Friday, March 8, 2019, In : Motorcycle Riding Skills

Many more people are riding motorcycles today than ever before, especially women. Since I've been riding for 12 years now I have women ask me all the time about where they can start. They want to know if I took a Basic Motorcycle Course, and should they take one. They ask if I was afraid, and how did I know for sure that I wanted to ride.

Advanced motorcycle training and insurance

Posted by Howard Trott on Saturday, October 7, 2017, In : Motorcycle Training

No matter how confident we are on our motorbikes, we could all benefit from additional post-test insight and advice from professional riders.

Unfortunately, rain is unavoidable and while you’ll probably never relish the opportunity to go out on your bike when it’s hammering down, it’s not something you should be scared of.

And if you are fearful of it, it’s something that you should really work on because, as we mentioned, you’re going to have to do it at some point – that’s one of the downsides of riding a motorbike in the UK. The good news is that it’s not difficult; in fact it’s not even that different from ridi...
