WOW!
zbear "I was trailing a couple friends on their bikes a couple weeks ago through some twistees. Hitting one corner about 85, I didn't realize how flat it was. I just slid over and throttled it through the corner."
I can't imagine running 85 MPH into a corner if riding in an area of "twisties" on a trike or bike. You must have a great talent for riding bikes and trikes, not to mention a big set of Balls!
The only place I could imagine myself ever running 85 on my trike into a curve would be on a nice wide interstate with long curves just to get around some trucks or something.
I admire your talent and bravery. :drinks:

Same here. Good thing someone with some trike experience was with me so he could drive it home. It was a mental thing. I wanted to steer it the opposite direction I wanted to go. It didn't help that it started to sprinkle and while I was driving across the parking lot, some woman ran out between cars and I nearly clipped her. When I got it home, I took it to the parking lot across the street, made some circles, then through my neighborhood for some practice. Then the following Monday, drove it the 19 miles to work. I went a lot slower on the way to work than on the way home. It just took a some practice and miles, miles, miles. It took some mental changes to get used the cornering. The old bike just leaned. The trike, lots of upper body. I was trailing a couple friends on their bikes a couple weeks ago through some twistees. Hitting one corner about 85, I didn't realize how flat it was. I just slid over and throttled it through the corner. Needless to say, my scrotum was definitely looking for a place to hide. My experience is that through a corner, just point it where you want to go, give her gas, and hang one.
