Well my buddy bought himself a cruiser (Yamaha V-Star 1100) yesterday, he has very little experience riding (no MSF yet although I'm encouraging him to take it) so he was not comforable riding it back from the dealer. He ask me to ride it for him and I said sure. Now the only time I have been on anything other than a sport bike was at the MSF and that was a while ago, so it felt very odd to be so low to the ground :confused and it was big ass heavy. So I throw on the beinie helmet :redflip he just bought and took off. About half way back there is a decent down hill turn, so I crank it over....hmmm...this thing isn't turning very sharp....oohhh look that curb is getting pretty close...shit I'm grinding this things peg off :eek ... must not target fixate at fast approaching curb... Well I made the turn by a few inches and took it easy the rest of the way.
Observations:
1. It was pretty cool sitting back while riding.
2. Cruisers can't turn for shit.
3. Beinie helmets look stupid (damn I'm a squid) :twofinger
