I am going to Singapore. Good excuse to get away and also pick up some parts and accessories while I am there.
In answer to your question; in past years I just restricted my riding to using my Tiger Joker stepthrough. Did most my running around in the evening or stuck to some of the back soi's where traffic wasn't as bad. Still always got wet. Made it all the way home from CM, about 10km, to my house without incident only to be soaked by my neighbor. I can't agree with tiswas, you are also a target on the main roads, just a little more room to maneuver. Watch for pick up trucks coming from behind with the "water brigade" in the back. They love to sneak up on you. Like I said, going to Singapore,,,,,,
