Cornering on the PCX in the wet, wish I could ride like this

So skillful - I can't get near that level in dry, perfect conditions!
Traveling to work this morning it was pouring and I always feel uneasy on sharp bends or cornering in wet conditions, so I pulled up just after turning right at traffic lights as I has some ****** tail-gating me so if I slipped at that moment they would go over me (it was very wet and they were only feet behind me)! Best let them pass I thought.

I prefer to pull over rather than irritate anyone who is in a big hurry.

The driver in the video is a pro. Any idea what bike he is riding?

It reminds me of some of the stuff we had to do to get our motorcycle license, but not when it was wet, and not as intense. That guy must eat sleep and breathe motorcycles. He is really good!

Interesting. I thought you would at least have to counterbalance the bike in order to ride wet AND slow(technically).
