First, this is my first post. I got my CBR in August, and have been reading all I can on here since then to get to know as much about my bike as possible.
During my MSF course, it poured for a large part of the second day, so I was able to get some good experience (while not going very fast). Until today, I had avoided riding the CBR in rain. It didn't look like it was going to when I left home, but sure enough it started drizzling when I was farthest away from home, and it eventually turned in to pretty heavy rain. I thought the CBR handled the rain pretty well, but I did find myself doing everything more slowly out of fear of slipping/sliding.
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice for dealing with getting caught in unexpected rain, including what to do to care for the bike when done riding (I dried as much of the bike as possible with a microfiber towel)?
Thanks.
