Straight-lining corners

[swbarnett]

I think that giving this this advise to squids is verging on criminally negligent...

I totally agree.

I haven't read all the replies (boo hiss they say) and don't have an opinion except:

when you are changing lanes to execute the manoeuvre do you check to make sure no one is passing you on that piece of corner?

I for one wouldn't even think of straight lining unless I'm the only vehicle in sitght - front, rear and sides.

I not see the logic...

My 2-cents (like you care)

Straight roads can be good...cruising along, day-dreaming, dwelling on life..bike on auto-pilot...time to admire the scenery that's not just the nearest 100 metres or so of tar-seal..time to focus on scents, scenery, nature..
Yes, a long straight road CAN be fun.

Soooo, you've never put your feet up on the highway pegs, tightened the throttle screw and laid-back and just wafted along with no worries???

PS: Ya need a cruiser (a Harley would be good) an open-face helmet, fingerless gloves plus a few tassles on the bike to get the REAL atmosphere...

Practice Grasshopper, practice...

Normally I anticipate the need for using the 'middle' pegs..and it pays off too!!

As it was your first ride I can forgive you.

Very true. It very much depends on the mood. And the bike. Haven't been doing much straight-lining in the past couple of years. Although the past week I've been using my wife's bike. The 600 Hornet is quite a rush after the GN. If only I'd been a bit more cautious with my pennies...

Glad SOMEBODY sees where I'm coming from...,
