Don't get a lot of rain here in SoCal, so my GP-110s don't see a lot of wet roads. From my short experiences in the rain with them they stop fine, but I'm a leary of cornering too aggressively with them. With constant rains, the roads get clean, but with less rain they frequently have an oil slime that demands some respect. If I lived in rain country, I'd be looking at tires with silica- enhanced tread compounds. Two examples are the Michelin Anakee and Pirelli MT90 Scorpion A/T. That said, last spring I road an '08 KLR on wet roads with the stock tires and it handled fine. __Arden

What size container are we talking about? 1 qt bottle, 2.3 qt jug, 2.6 qt jug, 4 qt jug, 5 qt jug or 220 qt drum? Did someone install my sight glass in the wrong location? Can I get Dino juice at the local health-food store? Somebody please; I need to know the answers? ED
