WET
WEATHER
RIDING
Fall
and
Spring
are
particularly
wet
seasons
in
most
parts
of
the
country,
but
that's
no
reason
to
leave
your
Harley
parked
in
the
garage,
especially
if
you
are
equipped
with
the
proper
riding
gear
and
knowledge.
Riding
in
the
rain
can
even
be
fun
in
you
are
wearing
the
right
kind
of
water-repellant
apparel
and
know
what
to
look
out
for
on
the
road.
Roadways
are
the
most
slippery
for
the
first
15
minutes
after
a
rainfall
begins,
as
that
is
when
oil
and
other
debris
that
has
accumulated
on
the
road
during
dry
times
rises
to
the
surface
and
starts
to
run
off.
If
you
can't
pull
over
and
wait
out
those
first
few
minutes
of
a
rain
shower,
the
following
strategies
can
help
you
keep
upright
and
safe
on
wet
surfaces.
The
center
of
the
traffic
lane
generally
has
the
greatest
buildup
of
oil,
anti-freeze
and
brake
fluid
that
has
dripped
from
passing
cars,
so
try
to
follow
the
right
or
left
tire
tracks
of
cars
in
front
of
you.
Since
roads
are
designed
to
slope
to
the
edges
to
facilitate
runoff,
the
area
closest
to
the
centerline
is
less
likely
to
accumulate
puddles
and
has
less
oil,
though
the
downside
is
that
it
puts
you
closer
to
oncoming
traffic
and
exposed
to
more
spray
from
passing
cars.
Riding
too
far
to
the
right
has
its
own
dangers,
however,
such
as
dirt
turning
into
mud,
or
wet
leaves
and
other
roadside
debris.
Don't
ride
too
close
to
the
center
paint
strip,
nor
to
the
outside
fog
line,
as
such
painted
surfaces
get
especially
slippery
when
wet!
Be
on
the
lookout
for
potholes,
which
when
full
of
water
look
the
same
whether
they
are
an
inch
deep
or
deep
enough
to
swallow
your
front
tire.
Scan
ahead
for
rainbows
in
standing
water,
as
this
indicates
a
high
concentration
of
petroleum.
Intersections
are
dangerous
territory
since
there
is
more
oil
accumulation
from
cars
idling
while
waiting
for
a
light
to
turn,
and
can
have
more
painted
surfaces
such
as
crosswalks
as
well.
Adding
to
the
challenge,
manhole
covers
are
more
likely
near
intersections
and
they
also
become
much
more
slippery
when
they
are
wet.
Remember
too
that
pulling
up
to
a
pump
at
a
gas
station
is
more
treacherous
in
wet
conditions
since
not
only
do
you
have
the
liquid
dripping
from
cars
as
they
fuel
up,
but
the
surface
is
usually
smooth
concrete
and
may
have
gas
and
diesel
spills
from
the
pump.
Now
that
you
are
aware
of
the
potential
traps
for
motorcycles
during
inclement
weather,
the
next
step
is
to
safely
maneuver
through
or
around
them.
Riding
a
motorcycle
in
slick
conditions
requires
the
rider
to
make
every
movement
s-m-o-o-t-h.
Slow
down
and
concentrate
on
making
each
input
into
the
bike
gentle
and
gradual.
Try
to
avoid
turning
the
bike
while
you
are
passing
over
obstacles.
Reduced
traction
could
cause
you
to
slide.
Don't
panic
if
the
rear
wheel
slides
a
little.
It
may
not
feel
stable,
but
as
long
as
the
front
tires
is
going
where
you
want
it
to,
physics
will
hold
the
bike
up.
Lastly,
keep
in
mind
that
riding
in
wet,
cold
conditions
physically
exhausts
you
more
quickly,
so
if
you
start
feeling
achy
or
chilled,
don't
hesitate
to
pull
over
and
grab
a
cup
of
hot
coffee
and
take
a
breather.
Numb
fingers
and
chattering
teeth
are
distracting,
and
a
distracted
rider
isn't
a
safe
rider.
With
winter
coming
on,
these
tips
apply
to
riding
in
snow
and
ice
as
well
as
in
rain.
Though
it's
best
to
avoid
riding
in
any
wet,
slippery
conditions,
if
you
travel
there
may
be
times
when
you
get
caught
unexpectedly,
but
at
least
you'll
be
prepared
and
know
what
to
look
for
-
and
look
out
for.

Harold
Thompson
On
September
8,
2009,
our
friend
and
colleague,
Harold
Thompson,
passed
away.
This
picture
was
made
in
June
at
our
last
company
party.
Harold
was
the
friendly
man
that
drove
the
van
between
the
Oklahoma
City
location
and
the
Edmond
location.
He
also
traveled
to
other
dealerships
for
dealer
trades.
Harold
always
had
a
smile
on
his
face.
We
miss
him.
He
was
an
important
part
of
our
Harley-Davidson
World
family.
