Nope, but in FL the weather changes every 30 minutes!!

Its sunny and you want rain? Wait 30 mins!

Weatherman says its going to be raining all day? Its sunny outside while he's talking!

I dont put any stock in weather reports...

pretty ghey. I have diablo corsa 3's which trip and several others informed me were horrible in the wet. Fuuuuck I might be driving.

And the race will be nuts. Newly paved track where everyone has little experience + rain = wrecks and wet riding heroics. Stoner will lowside halfway through the race regardless of weather but it'll still be fun to watch.

idk, i had 'em on the buell and went thru a crazy rain storm, the street looked like a river.

A few other times in "normal" rain as well.
They aren't bad as long as you aren't trying to be Rossi while its raining.

the corsa IIIs are fine in the rain if you arent trying to run fast laps. Just don't do anything stupid and you will be fine.

they were horrible in the rain for me because I was at the track, not on the street.

oic. Well I'm a bitch when it comes to wet riding, especially on twisties so I'll probably still drive.
Will I be the only person with a 4 wheeled vehicle from this forum?
