the sh16 speed bump

[chickenfunkstar]

Bugger. When did they take out he second bump? I LIKED those bumps, they were fun. Just stand up and gun over. I used to do that whole stretch standing up. Coming south , there used to be (buger, I don't recalll them last time, I think the bastiges have taken them out) two wallows close together , which were fun cos you hit the second with the suspension still closed up from the first. Bumps is bumps, tis what roads have . Soon we'll have roads that are just dead straight and smooth as billiard tables. Dead boring.

EDIT: Advice for new riders: Don't be shy to ride standing up. You often get better control. I sometimes ride for several miles at a time standing, if the surface is a bit rough. I think modern rids are too fond of sitting on their arse, standing on the pegsis often better.

You'll be dissapointed to learn that they've now taken out both of the jumps. Actually gave me a bit of a surprise when I was expecting a bump which wasn't there.

It was still there last time I went past 2 weeks ago (towing a boat with my 4wd...) and it is dangerous.

is a 4wd a cage too?

bit hard to stand up on a sprot bike, can weight the pegs and get off your arse but actually standing aint the most comfortable or practical

That's one of the reasons I intend changing from my GS1200SS to a DL1000K6 at the end of winter.
