Title: Slowest yet!
Post by: Roadstergal on July 12, 2005, 09:30:40 AM
I just thought I would let everyone know about my new personal speed record. My 04 just got down to 1/2mph yesterday. I have only been a rider for about 3 minutes, so I'm glad I got the GS first because I would probably go even slower if I could! Next year I plan to get a teenier bike, and then the real slowness will come!  Also, the fuel was only regular; I don't know if that makes much of a difference, but we'll see.

Dayum!!! ThatZ suM mAD sKilLz!!

I got ya beat though at zero (0) indicated at stoplight balancing for two, yes 2, seconds, while waiting for the light to change.

Speaking of getting a smaller bike, I'll betchya you could do better than me on one of those new scooters.

Edited for incorrect spelling of sKilLz (not sKiLza).

you'd think that the squid population would be self-regulating what with the propensity for fatal crashes and all, but I am consistently amazed at how quickly they multiply

Do not forget about speedometer error. At +/- 10%, you can have actually been going 35/64 mph. That 3/64mph can make a big difference. You need to get a gps when clocking speeds like that. But you are still my hero! :thumb:

Get a trials bike and learn to do 0mph indefinitely...
It's damn hard on the GS w/ the clip-ons...

Ah, grasshopper must squeeze tank with knee and flex back, [to] get weight off bars. Scoot back in seat, [to put] more weight over wider rear wheel, wider wheel easier to balance on.
