Hello Wayne -

WC> Charles the first two weeks I owned my 1100 I wondered why
WC> it cornered so badly... well it was simply the wheel was
WC> somewhat off the ground until I learned how to deal with
WC> such a muscle bike. 

Had a similar experience when driving 'at speed' around
midnight on two lane country blacktop in my Pontiac. I was
wondering why the rear end seemed a bit light on a few of the
turns but after using math to determine my speed I discovered I
had been cornering at 140mph (approx). The speedometer topped
out at 120 and once the needle buried itself there was no way
to know how fast I was going.

I usually only drove fast late at night out in the country but
believe it or not I did see several people crossing the road to
get their mail (or leave some) even at those late hours. I kept
extra powerful headlights in my cars aimed up to illuminate
obstacles (not the pavement). 'At speed' I couldn't swerve to
avoid things lying on the road or potholes anyhow so who cared
what the road looked like? ;-) 

WC> I noticed her address on the last page and if I can get
WC> myself motivated may very well write her a letter in praise
WC> of her efforts at enlightenment. 

The lady was 'slash-dotted' (meaing flooded with page hits) and
has received a great deal of email as a consequence. I am told
the website may be moving to a server with more bandwidth
(sponsored?).
