Difference between 75~80 (typical freeway speeds here) and 100 wouldn't be what killed me.Good job keeping the bike up. Buuuutttt, why on earth are you running 100 mph on this bike on public roads. Really good way to good to go to jail or get dead. I'm all in for have some fun on them but it ain't no sport bike.
You're right....it's that sudden stop that would do the deed. Time and place....for everything. Race tracks, obviously the BEST place. Not everybody has the access, or the money for the access. Empty highways....second best? I think that's why I like curves; not a lot of speed to FEEL like a lot of speed. Around here, reckless is not a set speed. It's the totality of the situation. Speed is a factor, but there has to be the risk of injury/death to any party.Difference between 75~80 (typical freeway speeds here) and 100 wouldn't be what killed me....
Yep that's what I figured. Funny how dads advice takes about 20 years to settle out to be the right thing isn't it..... God if we only knew what we thought we knew at 16 hah!Don't mean to preach, I do like folks getting home to there family and save. If I came across sounding like my dad that's not such a bad thing. I do find I sound more like him every day. He was right about alot more things than I was. But again I didn't mean to preach.
Damn physics.You're right....it's that sudden stop that would do the deed.
What Mitas do you have?Decided to skip the set of mitas I had and waited for a set of battlewings to show up.
I think they are the Dakar 07'sWhat Mitas do you have?
Happened to me last year at 70 mph. Fun aint it. I too was able to keep it up by Gods grace.Lost a rear tire at over 100 this morning. Steering going full lock out of the blue at that speed is always.....fun..... The subsequent few times were interesting...
Kept her upright. Used up my luck for the year. All that went through my head was... Sure you were just running to buy a screw you didn't need to put on your jacket......
