Can't offer you much advice Wayne I've only slid the rear in the dry. ;)

I wouldn't mind asking a similar question tho... is this totally normal, and do people bin it because of this sometimes?

Turn 1 at the creek on saturday in the "drying" session there was a stream of water running across the track about 3/4 through the corner.

It was dry on the racing line, but wet a bit further out. Guessing I hit it at 150-200(?) and the bike skipped out :shock: Not a lot, and I have no idea if front or rear or both.

Safe to say I pulled it into the racing line from then on. I really should have asked Dave Dave and Cath about it.......

Sorry for the hijack Wayne, but it's a similar question ;)

Yep as Wattie said. As you get faster you'll be spinning and sliding on most corners and if your not it means you can go faster!!!

Dirt/motored will teach you to be comfortable to stay on the throttle as the tail steps out and keep rolling on the gas to exit out of it.
