I hope you can remember all that in the middle of a critical turn. It's especially important to remember in a decreasing radius turn, when the only way to get through it is to push down harder on the lower bar. Or just panic and hit the ditch, tree, abutment, etc. |

Or just panic and hit the ditch, tree, abutment, etc. We just drove our street bikes normally, not looking for that "feel" in every corner so I didn't get surprised by a decreasing radius corner...... Personally, I think it's kinda' irresponsible when bikes get fast and loose on the street, that should be reserved for the track... |

Fast is OK (on many of those roads, fast is 35mph!) You'll definitely get some counter steering practice on the twistys. Try the Highland Turnpike around Fort Edward Johnson. You'll love it! 'Loose', I don't know. Not sure what you mean. |

Isn't fast and loose the generic name for a series of "C" grade movies involving fast cars, bad actors, drugs, and actresses with huge tits? -- Sarah Palin is watching the Sochi Olympic Games from the front porch of her house. |
