Only had my Spyder break loose once, we were outside of Reno and we got caught in a thunderstorm, I think that there was still dirt and oil on the highway as it had been dry. We have ridden in the rain for several days on end during some of out trips and have not had any issues as we usually slow down . We are also usually pulling trailers so that makes a big difference. I have been in some down pours so bad we had to stop as you could not even see the road. I would rather be on the spyders in the rain than any two wheeler. Just make sure you spend money on some great rain gear. I also like the fact that we can ride the Cascades in the fall to see the colors and don't worry about the wet leaves on the road.

I have rode many times in the rain and have had very little problems. My last experience was riding about 8 hours across the state of Tennessee when tropical storm Harvey came up from Texas. We also had rain at our last Spyderfest event earlier this year. I don't plan to ride in the rain; but if I want to go somewhere on my Spyder I still feel confident that I can arrive safely if there is rain in the forecast.

A fellow Spyder rider and I were on the Dragon this past spring in a deluge. He had ridden the road a few times before and commented it was the safest he had ever felt on the road. It was raining so hard the thrill seeking two wheelers couldn't ride it. We were virtually alone except for a couple cars.

Here in Saskatchewan, all our paved roads suffer from “depressed wheel tracks”, during rain these become lakes and rivers..where should I ride? One front wheel in the water and the back tire on drier road or straddle the high spot to keep the back tire on the high and drier part? Which is worse for hydro planing? Remember these are the only vehicles (unicycle excluded) that do not have a front tire making a track for the rear tire...
