rding in the wet?

[tomhunter]

Hey

Aside from it being dangerous would riding on wet ground damage a 50cc scooter?

(not neceserily damage but is it not good for it)

Or are they made for it and its completly fine

Would riding in the rain damage one?

Thanks

By "wet ground" do you mean road or field? If road, then yes, it's fine to ride. Would be a bugger if it wasn't, living in Britain, eh?

Well, if you want to be anal about it, yes you can dry your bike off. I don't personally know of anyone who does dry the bottom of a 50cc scooter though.

As soon as you get in from a ride in the wet,... stick it in the garage and forget about it.

How old is your scooter, if its a heap of shit (most are)! Dont worry

I never dried my 50 off, pointless because it was plastic and i wasn't to bothered! During winter i dry my exaust off on my 125 because otherwise it will rust (cheap shitty exaust)!

it can be slippy, but thats usually back in autumn when there are leaves on the ground, just don't try to brake on manhole covers too hard, and don't try getting your knee down and you'll be fine,

Its not slippy when its wet unless you stray onto manhole covers/overbanding etc. The reason you don't see many bikers in the wet is because some are scared of getting their toy dirty.

I love riding when its pissing down.

Some of my best ever rides have been in the rain, man I can remember in the summer first time I ever hit 80 was in the middle of a massive storm flying down the A40, no one about at all, had been riding for about an hour or so before hand (3rd time out on my nsr), God that was a fun day,

Both BSA Goldstars and Vincent Black Shadows are made of chocolate and melt if they go out in the wet.
