Not like yall need confirmation that I am not right ........ I get on the interstate for 22 miles most days. Today on the way home I decided to try something different. As soon as I got on the slab I set my throttle lock. Then I turned the bars loose. I rode the whole way hands free always maintaining my lane and my line in the lane. The only part that made me even a little edgy was passing a semi. But the bike didn't even flinch. I thought that the section of road that has tread tracks wore into it would mess me up ... but it was actually smoother without the idiot input. These things want to stay upright on their own. gyroscopic action and aall that scientific stuff. I did learn that it works best to give the bike several short hip thrusts ( okay I just wiggled my fat ass Laughing ) than to try to do big moves. The bike takes the initial (short) input then cancels the rest out.
Yep, I guess I truly am certifiable Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Laughing Laughing
Yall have a great day. Time for about a 3 hour nap then make to the work place.

See you out there

I used to be able to do that on my 1300 all the time, but now I need the allballs head bearing done. Can't do it any more because of that reason!
