Stuck behind some cruisers
Last weekend was beautiful and I went riding up my favorite twisty mountain. About halfway up, I came upon a pack of cruisers. As an observer, I was fascinated by how slow they were going.
When they came to a corner, they (at least the last two riders) stayed bolt upright like they were in an easy chair. They didn't pivot their head to keep the horizon level. I had to try it. After several corners of keeping my head in line with the bike, it felt like I was on a carnival ride. I almost got sick.
So it wasn't their bike's fault (I never saw anything scrape) they went slow, it was the rider's fault. Instead of being smooth, they were pretty jerky around corners. They were probably experts at cruising a straight highway, but didn't know how to take a curve. I bet most cruiser riders never take a riding class.

you already answered your own ? Cap. He was too busy crapping himself to cross back over. :rofl3:
THEY BOTH HAVE ON CANADIAN TUXEDO'S. AMERICAN PAVEMENT IS NO MATCH FOR CANADIAN DENIM. APPARENTLY THE GUY BUSTIN THE YELLOW KNOWS THIS AND FEARS NOTHING. THE OTHER GUY KNOWS NOTHING BECAUSE IF HE DID HE WOULD NOT BRAKE SO HARD TO GENERATE A SKID MARK. IT'S SIMPLE PHYSICS PEOPLE! :buds:
I Feel You Guys I Should Tell You Guys This Because Most Of You Can't Ride(weather) And I've Mentioned A Few Times About How Nice It Is Here. I Rode My Bike To Work And It Is Raining Now. I Will Be Riding In The Rain. I Figured It'll Happen Sooner Or Later. It Rained Just Enough To Soak My Bike, Wet The Roads And Piss Me Off, Then It Stopped. I Heard My Rubber Is Good On Wet Roads...i'm About To Find Out. Laters-
