In this vlog, I'm riding my Harley Davidson in the rain in southeast Virginia. I'm sharing some tips for riding in the rain, including how to deal with oily roads, using rain gear, and how to safely pull off the road in the rain.

Riding in the rain can be dangerous, but it's not impossible. Practicing regularly can help build confidence and make it a more enjoyable experience.

Here are a few tips for riding in the rain on a Harley Davidson:

Reduce your speed. This is the most important tip. When you're riding in the rain, your stopping distance is increased. So, it's important to slow down and give yourself more time to react.
Be smooth with your inputs. Don't be jerky with the throttle, brakes, or steering. Sudden movements can make you lose control.

Be aware of your surroundings. Cars and other vehicles may hydroplane or lose control in the rain. So, it's important to be extra vigilant and give yourself more space to maneuver.

Be aware of oily roads. Oily roads can be especially dangerous in the rain. They can cause your tires to lose traction, so it's important to be extra careful when riding on them.
Use rain gear. A good rain suit will help you stay dry and comfortable. It's also a good idea to wear a helmet with a face shield to protect your eyes from the rain and wind.
