I went to Texas two weeks ago, and rain wasn't like rain I am used to in the PNW. What kind of rain do you have in Arizona? Was it the steady drizzle like we get in Portland, or was it the 4 inches in one hour type rain that I had to stop for in Texas because I couldn't see the road out my windshield?
In general, be more concious about keeping your bike centered beneath you at all times, that way if a wheel slips, you can still stay upright. Brake sooner than you think you should because your brakes don't work as well as you think.
