Technique Question
Hiya,
I have a question about the correct technique about riding through shallow, slippery fords. I'm used to riding in the UK rain or the nice, dry summer in the US.
Last year I was riding some dirt road in TN, and came across some very slippy water crossings. They were only 5-6 feet wide and just a few inches deep, but the bottoms were covered in the very slippy green mossy stuff.
I tried going through fast - scary as there's no traction, and going through slow - scary as when you put your foot down it doesn't get any grip.
I'm puzzled to know the correct techniquie for these sorts of water crossings? I was on my F650 running TKC80s.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Cheers,
Nick.
