    Loaded Up

    Saw 280+ north of Twizel (on private hydro road) later in the day the pic was taken with the same loading. Stable as - riding with a GS1200 & SS900 Alex to Chch on delivery voyage.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    You are not supposed to tie them to the side, LAY THEM FLAT.

    He did lay them flat. I heard it was the succession of wheelies and stoppies that buggered them.
