I could picture you on a hot rod little sportster
I think I need a 3 wheeler. Much more difficult to crash.

I did not find the 'busas to be that great in corners. The longer wheel base made a tall rider (ME) feel more comfortable, but the shorter 600s could carve the twisties a lot better
OH, the hassling I would get, IF my friends saw me intelligently discussing which rice rocket cornered better...LOL

'Busas can handle..after you spend some money on the suspension.
I appreciate different types of bikes as well. My supermoto fulfills my need to scoot through the corners quickly. On the downside, doing an all-day ride renders my backside completely numb..it's like riding on a 2x6.
My wife rides as well..here are some shots from a track day that we did last October. Her bike is a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250.

I built this frame, 20+ years ago.. That is an old triumph engine powering it

that was back in my wilder days. That box, on the back was mounted on springs, and it was lined with fiberglass. It even had a drain valve at the bottom. It was an ice chest, and it was rarely ever empty (I was a corona drinker)

Aww...you guys are so cute together!!!![]()
hope she recovered quickly
That must have been a scary thing to come around the corner to! Glad she was okay. What happened?
Youch. That looked fun until you showed her on the ground. Then it didn't look so fun anymore.
Yeah, not a bad decision. Of course, deciding NOT to go down would have been an even better one ...... At least she waited until the end of the day to crash![]()
