One of the big reasons I bought this bike was the idea that it would perform very well in wet and rainy conditions. Florida is notorious for heavy downpours that seem to spring up out of nowhere.
Since I've had this bike, I've been caught in some pretty heavy downpours and have done a good bit of my riding on wet roads. I have to say that this has got to be one of the absolute, best bikes out there for it's sure-footedness in inclement weather. The TC1 mode works extremely well, and when paired up with the ABS and the rain capable, Battlewing tires, this bike thinks it's a duck!
I've been thinking of what to name her and she ended up telling me herself! My bike has, therefore, just earned her name, and will forever be known as: "Gertie". ::012::
Now I just need to get a small sticker of a duck with her name under it.
