- October 16, 2009, 18:36:39 PMThank You , I have the Maxis Classics. their white walls don't hold up well. I have seen a few and they like mine have discolored and nothing has cleaned them . the traction seems to be very good. The bike is lowered in the rear about 1 inch and I have noticed a little float or lightness or bounce in the fount handling but the traction seems rock solid. A wild ride in the rain is my Honda cb 400 with several inches of ground clearance !

Just remember, the middle of the lane (where cars drop grease and oil) is the slickest, especially for the first hour or so, so ride in the car tire paths, and watch out for the painted lines......they're slick as ice!

- October 16, 2009, 17:04:56 PMViola and I were out in the rain today and there were spots when I put my foot down to check that were very slippery. the traffic was heavy with lots of stops, maneuvers etc. I had to go out for a dentist apt etc as the cage is in the shop. My question is ......Viola was a dream to handle in the rain !! Is it what has been done to the bike that makes it that way a combination of mods , tires, or is this bike good natured in the rain when it was born. I'm almost looking forward to another rainy day !
