From my understanding lawmakers are also trying to make ABS mandatory on all bikes. Boy that'll jack up the price of most mid-entry bikes.

my friends Marine recruiter laid his harly down on its side in the rain one time and rode on top of it on all fours, like a surf board right before you stand up, until it came to a stop. no road rash or injury whatsoever. but hes a hard ass so he can do that.

I wouldn't mind ABS at all. Before I got my GS I was looking at the SV650F ABS. ABS would be really nice to have and I wouldn't mind paying the extra bit for it.

i like sv's alot.  not as much as cbr's. but sv's are cool

Why the CBR preference?

gs500 and ninja's have a parallel twin.

super sports are usually inline 4's. triumphs have i-3's

Or so I thought they had vtwins haha. thanks by the way.

ABS is not a bad idea.
The Government forcing you to buy it is a bad idea.
Too bad the government doesn't outlaw deer.
Oh geez, I feel an anti government rant coming on.

However, I'll get back on-topic here. . .
Romulux posted a lead to some fascinating "Lay her down" links earlier in the thread. I never realized it was an art form.

And I was mighty curious about the Twism86 incident.
I was wondering how something behind you caused the problem.

Hey Dan, i had my first accident this morning. Sucks dont it. Body is just sore all over. Im glad your ok and im sure our bikes will live on to ride another day.
Mine was caused by an idiot behind me but you cant control nature or drivers. Ill be looking for a headlight too. Always gear up man! Ride safe.
