Oh, test your brakes too, some are not so good when wet.
Very good point John with regards to the brakes!!!
I remember one day last year on my arrival at work on my PowaByke and going down the steep wet slope into the underground car park my brakes completely failed!!!
One of our Managers was negotiating a reversal into a car parking space and I had no option but to fly around the back of the car and did not come to a stand still until the very end of the car park!!!!
Her face was a picture as well as the onlookers and whilst it scared me a little I did remain quite calm and when I eventually came to a halt I almost fell off the bike laughing!!!
I guess you had to be there
