EP163: Rain Riding Decisions: When Should Adventure Motorcyclists Stop?

Rain riding is part of adventure motorcycling, but when does riding a motorcycle in the rain become dangerous? In this episode, we discuss adventure motorcycle rain riding, heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail, standing water, poor visibility, and the critical decisions riders face when conditions begin to deteriorate. We share some of our worst rain-riding experiences and break down the factors that help determine when it's safe to continue riding and when it's time to find shelter. We cover both on-road and off-road adventure riding, including temperature changes, traffic conditions, water crossings, muddy trails, group riding considerations, motorcycle tire performance in wet conditions, rain gear, waterproof luggage, and finding safe cover during severe weather. Whether you're new to adventure motorcycling or have thousands of miles of experience, this episode will help you improve motorcycle rain safety, develop better judgment, and make smarter decisions when riding in challenging weather conditions. Topics covered: adventure motorcycle rain riding, motorcycle rain safety, riding in heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail, standing water, water crossings, motorcycle tires in wet conditions, adventure bike rain gear, waterproof luggage, and severe weather decision-making.  Subscribe to the show: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/prof...
