Title: Greasy Rides
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on March 08, 2019, 09:58:02 PM
Ridden on some pretty greasy mornings - sometimes with added fog - and scattered leaves.
I have to trust my tires - but then I also make of point of not challenging their adhesion, or the ABS - when braking or cornering!

 
Have to factor in the HP of the scoot as well -
For instance the Burgman 400.... To avoid clutch glazing one must be brisk with the throttle on take-offs. Do not be brisk  if also turning a corner from a stop!

Still exploring the Piaggio's wet grip on greasy streets - but again, I am not challenging them!

The smooth Forza 300 had a nice balance of weight to power that was easy to ride in the wet.

The LIKE200i benefits from a set of Michelins.
