Yeah, I've been on the freeway at 70mph+ with no handling issues. With good tires they get the water out of the way quickly. Visibility and car's behavior does seem to be the biggest danger in the rain. Slipstreamer windshield is a sweet addition, keeps the rain from pelting me. Gettin wet is a pain, but back when I had my garage I could just close the door after pulling in and strip down. Don't think my neighbors would appreciate me doing that in the backyard of my apartment building, though...
