The factors that could have caused this event might well fill a page,but I would think the top causes could have been the depth of the water,the depth of the tread pattern and its ability to disperse water....amongst many others.
Coming off in wet conditions is never very nice and my first recollection goes back to September 1975 on my way to college.But I put that down to a Nitto 'safety' tyre on the front of my CB125S,which was very soon after changed for an Avon Speedmaster rib.This type of tyre served me well in the wet for many thousands of miles after.
I would also say that confidence in riding in the rain is also a big factor.I could not see anything wrong with riding quickly in very heavy rain on the way home from the WSB in Assen years ago.Many other vehicles were pulling off the road which made it easier,except for a Porsher who decided not to go over ***mph to keep up.
Having ridden dirt bikes for many years has also quickened the reactions whether it was the front or the back that slid out in a big way.Once again,tyre quality and condition made the experience fun instead of dangerous. |
It always intrigued me to know what that lassie's dad thought of her hero's 'life saving' endeavour?
I would have crushed the bike with the cnut astride it.
