Bit of high-side riding lets you get the footpegs on the
deck, if the need arises. Other than U-turns and showing
off, can't really see why though...

Nice! Let you catapult yourself into a lorry on the
freeway onramp with even greater speed... >_< At least you
know you _could_ pull out and pass a vehicle, as opposed to
being stuck behind some truck at 50mph...

Sorry - forgot a few words*; from all those pills you're
still taking?

simultaneously - at least one will be done badly!

Yeah, city parking, where the theory was that when you step
off the bike, you are on the footpath side as opposed to
the vehicles-zooming-past side of the road. Agree that
generally not parking on the street is better!

And I think quite a few of us would like to see pics with
your characters and some hot hardware to go with them.
David Siegl and I for starters! Plenty of opportunities to
recline and show curves when automobiles are envolved.

Scrapper, Black Dragon, who will admit that as nice as it
is to have a girl riding pillion snuggling up to you, it
really kills your upper back and wrists at the end of a
long day's ride!
