Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2001 18:05:19 -0500 From: gayathri X-absent-friends: "PoPs Penchow" , "Mike Mitten" So, i'm back on the T5 after a weekend of the fzr400. There's this onramp that puts me on the freeway to work. And some silly SUV takes the inside line on the on ramp and freaks and hits the brakes. bwahahaha... you know, those tourmaster pants ROCK for letting you hang off. I stayed in the outside wheel trak to avoid any gasoline and crap as the ramp is banked really nicely. (dane, its the 210 W onramp from Michilinda, just north of my house). Stay steady on the throttle and feel the bike stay planted at a good speed as I pass the SUV at the start of the turn. roll on that throttle, and feel the front end get kinda light as the bike straightens up. (whoo, patrick, lookie!) and merge smoothly intro traffic. Boy, wish I could loft that front wheel some more. But I dont. and I trundle on along at a safe speed to work.
