We're getting ready for another trip, which will be 2 short days up, and one 7 hour day back. We've been lucky enough to elude rain all but once, so I have a question or two for the big touring guys.
We both have good rain gear, but I have very little experience on wet roads, with that, if visability is ok, how fast do you go? I believe I knocked it down from 60mph to about 50mph the one time we got caught.
If the weather gets severe, say, lightning, do you stop? Or it would have to be heavy rain and windy before you would stop?
When you stop, what are a few tips on where to 'sit it out'.
Just looking for some foul weather tips I guess.
Thanks,
Mike.
