    I've wrecked twice, once was my fault and one I got hit by a woman who
    turned left in front of me. I ride _real_ careful like. Matter of fact
    Hank, I got hit in upstate New York near Oneota (Spelling may possibly be
    perverted) on Memorial Day. Totaled an R65 I had owned for 9 years.

    Got an e-mail awhile back asking me to form a mental image of a 300
    pound woman, and then look at the attached picture. The pic was of a
    beautiful woman that happen to be 7' 2" and 300 pounds :)

    It didn't say I have to get rid of it, just that it is the wrong bike
    for me.

    I have a line on an R1, that's scientifically proven to make me a better
    rider. I'll still want to futz around on the Triumphs, even though the
    superior R1 will be in the garage too!

    Urmph, "...sell your bike [ASAP]...." I wouldn't want your life to be
    miserable! Er, well, ah, you *are* married, but besides that.

  9. The group in Topeka that does the MSF course told me, after I completed
    the BRC, that passing or even taking the BRC wasn't a prerequisite to
    taking the ERC there. Go figure.

    I learned a lot, however I need to unlearn my bad habits...

    Naw, you'll find the Triumphs deteriorating in the shed while you ride the
    R1. If you love them you'll find them good homes.

    As you exit an apex and the front tire begins to hook up again, about the
    time you begin applying power, one can *gently* add a tad of front brake
    (not enough to start sliding again) to bring the rear out and tighten your
    arc. Do NOT try this on a UJM, the mass of weight up high will do it's
    thing and high side you into the tarmac.

    Sounds like the cams might have been off in some way. Must have been
    a hell of a ride.

    Joe said it came from the factory like that. And yes, from what he says, it
    was one helluva ride. :)
    Joe was heading back to Ft. Sill at the time. The cop told him he wouldn't
    write him a ticket, because no one would believe it. Heck, I'd find it hard
    to believe too, if I didn't know Joe so well. He's maxed out every car
    we've own since and never found another like that Buick.

    Yamaha FJR1300
    You scored 5 moxie, 6 zeal, and -3 pomp!
    You have the characteristics of a master street rider.
    On the way to work, your love for riding sometimes leads you to take the
    long way. The 50-miles-of-back-roads long way. You live for the perfect
    road, and plan vacations around riding.

    You need a bike that can handle your addiction to the twisties as well
    as comfortably carry two on a weekend trip through the mountains. Your
    bike is the FJR1300. Can I borrow it someday?


    Guess I need to go shopping

    slightly forward. not much more than i found myself doing on the wing.
    it really is a "tweener" bike. the guys from cruisers talk about it's
    forward riding position. the sport bike guys talk about it's
    set-up-and-beg riding position. I told everyone that it seems Mamma
    Yamma hit the bullseye for the genre design.
