  |  I'm scared of water =(
I'm really nervous whenever I ride through any kind of puddle. Obviously, I avoid water if I can, but sometimes there's one of those damned little streams running off of someone's lawn across an intersection. Any time I ride through water, I slow waaaaaaay down and creep along with the bike as upright as I can possibly keep it until I'm reasonably sure the tires are dry again. Is there a safe way to overcome this fear of water? I know it's the fear that's keeping me alive (and off the pavement), but I'd like to at least learn enough confidence that I don't have to granny-ride the bike. Any pointers? The bike is a 81 GS450-S, if that matters. |
