I agree with ya in the efficiency of a motorcycle. I live in Jackson
Hole and cool weather is a treat over hot summers. One thing you
didn't mention is you hit one patch of ice on that bike and you will
be sporting some extensive road rash, or worse...
I once laid my old Harley down right in front of a school buss. The
tires on that old (I did say old) Harley were about as smooth as the
top of my head is now. I hit the rear brake and the motorcycle sorta
turned and rolled to the left. (Those old roll bars really did work
g) and left me sitting on top right side of the frame as it slide
down the pavement tires first. It was just that looking at the grill
of that school buss about 6 feet from my nose made me a bit nervous.
Fortunately the roll bars didn't slow me as fast as the brakes slowed
the school buss. We all came to a stop, I stood it back up and headed
for home. No injuries other than a bit of chrome off the left roll
bar...and my nerves. :-))
