Failing that (mostly do, hacks it down here with rain.) I like slightly damp roads.
This last weekend was a bit wet... And Horse ****ty. Came down a bend, going right, hit the poop, back end went out.
Now, I dont have much experiance with this, so it was the obvious opposite steering - For half a second I was like "WooO!!" - Then I relaxed on the throttle, instinct I guess, flat out "Ah crap crap stop stop." Thus the weight shifted forward, the fronts gripped, and it threw me the opposite way, sending the back out again and coming to a halt, facing the left hand side of the road.
No damage! No collision! Scared me a bit though. I'm probably going to do a Adv. Driving Course in the new year (Any idea where is a good place in the NW?)

Try ridedrive.co.uk
All instructors are Police Class 1 (which is the highest level) drivers and qualified to teach as well. I did a half day some months back - it's nothing like you'd think it'd be.
Just one example of the content:-
He had me on a muddy, twisty road in January 2007. Asked me to do a swift and systematic drive over three miles but.....;-
1. Keep left of the lane markings, whether or not safe to ignore them regardless of vision available;
2. Commentary (but not about the situation, but instead describe the grond floor of my house) whilst still driving swiftly - it's a distraction
3. Keep the pace up (ie. when I got below 70mph I was told to speed up - despite the road limit of 60!!!)
4. No Braking
ridedrive.co.uk is highly recommended by me. I had a good time.
