"You pay for the whole bike, Why not use it?" What does this mean?

I think he's refering to the fact that if you're going to buy a "Sport Cruiser", don't forget about the "Sport" part. The Valk is a fun bike to push, and that's where the fun lies for some people!  |

Remember folks, street lights timed for 35 mph are also timed for 70 mph

I "think" he was refering to buying a IS and then making something else out of it or making a Standard from a IS like one guy was talking about !!!!

"You pay for the whole bike, Why not use it?" What does this mean? I'm sure Joe will answer you, but it's a quote from Jerry "Motorman" Palladino. His point is that if you don't go lock to lock in tight turns and you don't take the bike to its limits then you're not really using all the bike has to deliver.
Of course, you do have to know (learn?) what those limits are. |

Willow is correct (and yes bud...you can show this post to motomomma as proof that you were right at least once). When I saw the Ride Like A Pro IV (I believe it was 4 that I saw) video, Jerry used that line and I liked it enough to quote him. Granted, I haven't lived up to that saying yet...but I am working on it.  Joe |

As for telling Mama, there's no need. I told her the other time.  |

Yeah...he knows how to handle the big girl in the parking lot. I haven't had the pleasure of riding with him though. I would like that chance sometime. Guess I need to hold off on the number of wheelies so I am able to ride every day at next year's InZane.

Thanks I believe "Jerry Motorman Paladino" is from my neck of the woods. If my rememberer is correct, he's with the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, or maybe the Newport Richey Police Dept. in Florida? |
