Nothing happened but there is a speed bump next to my house, the large, wide, sloping kind. I'm going fifteen miles per hour in fourth gear in my '99 Jetta 2.0 and as soon as I hit this hump the car goes completely side-ways. (Did I mention that it's sleeting today?) Now this drives home the point of getting a beginner bike, I have a great amount a car driving experience for a 17 year-old; I've driven a '06 GTO in the snow, drifted an Evo VIII down an exit ramp and even have driven a Hennessey Venom 800TT. (Basicaly a Twin-Turbo'd dodge Viper with 833 Horses) I've done more but you get my point: It was reflex how I reacted. I simply eased of the gas and counter-steered the appropriate amount (no plowing from me thanks). Again all reflex, any situation on a bike that would have required a prompt controlled reaction I couldn't of done: I simply don't have enough experience riding bikes.
I have a Year and a half or so of driving under my belt. Not a lot, but better than zero. Bikes? I've driven a '99 Suzuki Hayabusa Ten miles.
sounds like you were affected by the intoxication of sniffing your fingers after scratching around your arsehole for to long, while wrtiitng this
wreaks of BS to me
I'm glad to see I hold such sway over you shane-o.
