Why do Clubman bars...
« on: September 01, 2009, 12:36:40 AM »
Have to be so damn fun?!  I put a set back on the bike  today and I found my self hitting the usual corners and much higher speeds.  I got both wheels to slip a little while cornering through an intersection with those thick ass cross walk stripes, and the ground was dry ;D
  When you were kids did any of you guys think you could run faster when you got new shoes?  I wonder if this is the same thing only in chrome.
I farted and made my son cry.

I think the same thing occurs when a middle-aged man slips into a Porsche or Corvette.

If you're worried about how many calories are in beer, is losing weight really your biggest problem?

I think that pretty much sums it up.  Not only is your face closer to the ground so it feels like you're going faster, but shifting your body weight further to the front makes the steering response quicker.
