Concentrate on smoothness, which is helped by good foward planning, brought on by reading your visual limit. The more warning you get from good foward observations, the better your ride will be, using the engine as an excellent extra & safe brake. There are a great number of excellent tips in the riding techniques section too. I ride through UK winter when not falling off and smoothness for me is the key
