Mind have seen rider's of Harkey-Davidson's do it with ease.<BR/> Having now seen a Harley-Davidson Ultra<BR/>beside a full dress Goldwing know why.<BR/>The HD is a physically small motorcycle.<BR/> And I can't fit on it either! <BR/><BR/>Katie was riding down and back behind a <BR/>barn door, and she also was lonely. <BR/>So what did she do while you taught? <BR/>Played student?<BR/><BR/>And because of the wet, did any of the<BR/>tires on the motorcycles slide?<BR/>Enough to tip the bike?<BR/>Am assuming these cone courses are<BR/>done a very low speed; have done a<BR/>cone weave usually in 2nd gear as opposed to first gear,<BR/>far more control.<BR/><BR/>Remember, rain is liquid snow when it is<BR/>colder, sunshine when it is warmer.Brycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760433604853253299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-84613454138587627692009-03-23T11:26:00.000-07:002009-03-23T11:26:00.000-07:00Charlie6,I hate that in between time when it's wet...Charlie6,<BR/>I hate that in between time when it's wet, dark, and close to freezing. I often elect not to ride then. That being said, if I didn't ride in the rain I wouldn't be getting much riding at all!<BR/><BR/>Like you said, the visibility can be an issue. I hate being behind big trucks. They can't help it, but they put up a lot of spray.<BR/><BR/>Tim,<BR/>Thanks. Looking back, I wish I had a picture, too. Like a lot of other things.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>Danirondadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-81163098317936202602009-03-23T08:45:00.000-07:002009-03-23T08:45:00.000-07:00Awesome write up.

Keeping one's visor clear can be challenge, specially if road spray is involved.<BR/><BR/>Around here the road spray dries quick and brown....it can make life interesting.<BR/><BR/>Rain and night, maybe not so eager to do that....it tends to get below freezing when we lose the sun, this time of year. : )redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-91797143781654904432009-03-22T16:36:00.000-07:002009-03-22T16:36:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.com
