The best (only) thing that can be done about them is to change your tires. Take a look at the front tire on your bike. I think you will find that, like most imports, it has groves that run parallel to each other arround the tire. These 'catch' in the rain groves and try to follow them like a street car. If you change the front tire over to some other tread pattern say like a hash mark... \\|// this should help alot. Changing the back tire will also improve handling if it too has parallel treads. Sorry, I know of no better (cheaper) way other then staying off the groves. Happy trails, Bill Kanawyer {ucbvax,amd70,ihnp4,cbosgd,decwrl,fortune}!dual!bill
