Sick Q sesh, I was at the HANNspree SBK races in May at Miller in Utah, starting raining about half way through day 2. That was impressive to see about 12-14 superbikes ripping it in the rain, just nutty

Now thats an advertisement for the tire company! I ride through down pours here in Oregon quite often but damn hydro-planing scares the sh*t out of me!

If you have good tires you shouldn't even notice a wet road

I'm with TooFst on this one. You've just got to be smooth and confident. Rain is no big deal. But it sure sucks being wet.

I did a whole practice day in heavy rain a bunch of years ago on a 125GP bike. Was one of the best times I ever had at the track. Drove the superbike guys nuts!! They just spun the tire as I squirted away.I have raced in the rain on slicks (not recomended) but was a ton of fun. So no...rain is not an issue. Wayne

Wow, That is AMAZING! Drifting on a motorcycle. ;-)

You've just got to be smooth and confident.

Yeah, but there's a big difference between riding Smooth/Confident & Balls Out like you Stole it. Like some said, that vid is Talent.
It's more than just the tires when the rear end is passing you dropping into a corner and you hold the line @ speed - that's Skill.

Wow that guy ain't no motorcycle rider.He is a artist or a special something or Hey can I go to that driving school?

If I'm not mistaken that was Troy Bayliss, he's been around for quite a while. I think he used to race for Ducati for many years.
