You do realize that a bike sliding on its side has less traction than an upright bike with the
brakes applied. Laying a bike down looks good in the movies, but the bike will stop faster with the
brakes.

Nope. I disagree. I laid down my cb450 Honda just moments before it slid and slammed into 88 yr. old "grannie blue-hair" who had just pulled out in front of me. She was driving a 1972 Buick Electra 225 and I swear she couldn't see over the steering wheel!


Ha! That's what riding in Florida was all about. I used to head for
the roads less traveled.


It is just nuts here. I rode that harley a couple of times and I was
done.
