I used to ride, for fun, in the middle of down pours. The new sewage system seems to have made things worse. @Peter: Just keep an eye on the motorbike in front of you. If the level of water goes above where the spark plug is, stop and turn around. I flooded my old Nouvo two years ago in a storm. Arghh!!! @Ken: Yeah but 2 years ago, the same deluge would never have flooded the streets. I used to ride, for fun, in the middle of down pours.

If the city rains like Seattle, it'll be under 4 feet of water every year. I've been to Hue and seen those 4+ feet watermarks on the walls from heavy rain season.
