I just have to say. WUSSIES...............

I have race in the rain. It's amazing how much braking power you have in the wet. Cornering is a different story. I bought rain tires recently. You can get a knee down and run great times in the rain with the right tires.

What tires are you using in wet conditions?

I had a friend selling his 600 to upgrade to a 1k... in his ad he put something like, "Ridden in the rain, shine, snow, and sleet, and ridden well!" (or something along those lines) and got a lot of people calling with these same comments! "If someone didn't ride it in the raid, they didn't ride it enough!"

Sold it for his asking price!
