Take care on bends in the wet, you never know if a truck has spilt deisal as it turned the corner, hitting that stuff is like ice.

Be aware of wet "slippier" roads after a long hot spell.

Run that new tyre in more than 100 miles, to be on the safe side.

Keep your headlight on permanantly, the more visible you are the better.

Have BOTH feet on the floor and a brake on as your pillion mounts and dismounts.
