    Well my jog tops out at about 65 on the flat, so, hmmmm, maybe I could duct tape two together to get to 130. Might be tough to wheelie though
    Watch out for tow ropes and quickly braking cars

    Cheers

    I've only been riding since March and am kind of used to the daily shit every rider puts up with from other road users, but that was the hairiest yet.

    And it turns out that yes, I can lock up the rear with the piddly little drum brake. Did some practicing yesterday and when I *really* get on it, it skids. So, now to practise the old manual ABS.

    ROADCODE: Standard NZ

    BUS ONLY SIGN = only busses

    BUS LANE = Busses and cycles, motorcycles & mopeds...
