I assume you are correct, as they maintain their speed.
Nope no throttle lock although i have thought about getting one , but at the most i ride 200 miles in a day so not really worth getting i dont think
I wouldn't be too comfortable with the thought of having better braking. A Ford Focus (not exactly a performance machine) will stop from 60 mph in less distance than a R6. I think we would have a hard time finding cars we could actually stop faster than.
Factoring in reaction time for a motorcycle vs a car, I hope you know your theory will prove very wrong indeedy. While most cagers are out talking to their families listening to music, and just about fumbling with everything they goddamn can get and cannot get their hands on. A motorcyclist is usually more aware and his fingers only have to travel a whee 4 cms, that's if he doesn't already have his brakes covered. The problem in the real world is that the cager won't begin to stop until it's too late. Then you get rear ended. Sometimes the best solution to avoid a crash is see the exit(your escape strategy), go to the exit, pull over to the side as soon as its safe and clear to do so.
There's a fine line between comfort, and over confidence. I was in the same boat. I've been on 2 wheels since I was 2. But that was always either BMX or mountain bikes. First time I rode a motorcycle was a CRF450 on a motocross track 2 years ago. Not one issue, never dumped it, nothing like that. I took my MSF class and the instructor wouldn't believe me that I had no experience. Then my second day riding my FZ6R, I damn near became a hood ornament feeling way too comfortable hitting the twisties with 90 miles under my tires. I learned really fast how to respect what I was doing, no matter how comfortable I was on 2 wheels. Use that comfort to make yourself a better rider, not a sloppy rider.
Are you serious? I ride one handed on the freeway all the time. Even on back roads if I'm sitting up relaxing. Even had my pic taken a few times like that.
I think i can get ticketed for that in NYC, not to mention stopped. NTY two hands or nothing. :thumbup:Are you serious? I ride one handed on the freeway all the time. Even on back roads if I'm sitting up relaxing. Even had my pic taken a few times like that.
