aubster, you like motorcycles, right?

[Citronauts_Knights]

I seem to remember that. Last week I bought a 1972 Triumph TR6R Tiger.

I thought you were in a pretty serious relationship

I thought you were in a pretty serious relationship

I was. Moved down to Atlanta with a woman, but we grew apart, because I'm into working out and being active and she's not. She never really wanted to do anything and I like getting out and doing stuff. So, we broke up and she moved back to Madison.

Nice classic CK, I liked my sport bike until I totaled it.

I passed my safety course and got my endorsement finally. I'm looking this weekend to figure out what I'm getting.

My big issue is which is safer in the rain? Cruiser or Sportsbike. Florida it FUCKING RAINS CONSTANTLY and there is zero doubt I'll get caught in the rain quite a few times because I want to drive it a lot. Would a Cruiser be better, seems most have deeper tread on the tires which is nice.

This is the safest for riding it in the rain

Nice! I passed mine a few weeks ago. I would think that you should get what you like, and what you're going to be comfortable with.

also gb i was told by a know it all friend that the thinner the motorcycle tire the better the traction. you might want to inquire on that. wish atah would pop in he could let you know for sure.

Ask and you shall receive! :wave

Honestly, I don't know that there's a measurable difference in safety on a sport bike compared to a cruiser when riding in the rain. A lot of modern sport bikes have traction control, power mapping (reduced torque and HP settings for rain) and ABS, but the most important factor to consider is your tires. Largely wider tires give you better traction by simple virtue of creating greater contact surface with the ground, but mostly that affects cornering ability (higher HP sport bikes get bigger rear tires for corner-exit acceleration). In a straight line, it all comes down to the channeling in your tires and their ability to whisk away water while maintaining contact with the pavement. I've seen pretty good selections of sport bike tires specifically designed for racing or track days in the rain, but I'm sure there's an equivalent in the cruiser world. To GB, I've ridden a ton in the rain and have never had an issue. Just don't be too hot on the throttle/brakes and watch for puddles, and you'll be fine.

It's not so uncommon that I'm one of those lurking in the background. I'm just typically too lazy to contribute when I have to type on this shitty tablet keyboard.

Well hell dude, 2-3 posts a day would kick ass. Even one is better than none. :up

Motorcycles or boobies. And if you can find a way to combine to two then even better.
