i love riding in the wet, being from Aberdeen, it makes sense to ride in the rain as it's the most common weather we have.
like CBRXX says, once you get some heat in the tyres you'll be surprised at the grip you have.
Most important is wear the right gear, if you wear a one piece wet riding condom or something similar you can be lovely and warm, and don't forget heated grips, the best thing i ever bought for my bike........
Go out on roads you know well and like Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) say, put your wait on the pegs and keep loose, if your tensed up its not helping because it means your nervous.......If you go a decent run in the wet the longer you ride the more comfortable you will be.....
As far as which lines you use is basically down to road conditions, try to stick to normal lines but keep out of puddles which tend to be at the nearside of the road, and if overtaking get in to the overtaking lane before accelerating to much as the white lines and cats eyes can give you a wee twitch on the back if not careful. also try not to overtake if you see the car infront approaching a big puddle as he may move out to avoid it or give you a right drenching as you pass, see Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) for details on that one REF: West coast run 2007
Most important relax, enjoy, be progressive with your actions.......
Im not an expert, or instructor but ride a lot of miles if anyone disagrees with above and can advise you differently then fine.......
