Exactly. Straight roads and showrooms.

That is correct. Those photos are straight from killboy.com where my photos came from. The guy leaned too hard on his floorboard and picked the front tire off the ground causing understeer. With a blind right curve coming up quick, he chose to dive off rather than contend with whatever was coming the opposite direction.

Some of us managed not to wreck that day.

I know some cruiser riders you should ride with, sometime. They will quickly disillusion you.

I feel for the guy. Probably not the best thing to start waving to photographers whilst cranking into a corner, however friendly you are.

ZooTech. You look like you are way over in some of those pics...nice ones.

Exactly. The bike wasn't the problem for the dude who lost it. Check out the video of that dude on his goldwing at Deal's Gap. I imagine he could take low time against the clock against many a sportbike.

Indeed.

And I was not too happy about it, either.

Maybe that's why I'm not smiling!

Damn you Kentucky and Tennessee and your feel-good, do-gooder helmet laws!
