Well at least the fast '97's anyway (couldnt help it)...Today out riding, its amazing it took me 20 miles to get to the Walmart that is 1.5 miles from my house....hehehe. I had rode some country roads and seen lots of bikes out enjoying the day, so now to town and hit the store...well, I needed to take the left turn lane but it was filled with cars, I would have been stopped in the lane of traffic......not happenin.....so I go to the next light and set up for a u-turn.
OK, so its perfect timing if I go now and go fast in the left lane, wait a couple seconds and there is a sea of traffic coming. So, of course.....I GO.....clutch gas and rear brake, hard counter lean and whip a professional looking u-turn in, off the rear brake and on the gas and holy cr@p I always get surprized at the torque that is asleep, just waiting there to breath fire when you twist that thing..........I thought it was going to be close getting in front of a small car in the right lane so I could make my turn, but the Valk got to 45mph (posted speed) in like a second and that car that I thought was almost blocking the right lane was a speck in my mirror lol.........I think I almost committed what here in FL is a $1,000 offense.....the front end got reeely light, I think if I wasnt needing to get off it and change lanes to turn into WalMart, that front wheel could have came up.
Not bad for a 14 year old bike with 120K miles......What a nice day to ride
