Mud THE Gravel and real reason for knee down antics to avoid front tire steering.
i've been forced learning to ride THE Gravel, Ice, snow, wet grass and leaves
in various slopes and either end blow outs, but Mud is always instant
Crisis.!
I ABHOR the knee out and down riding style but am a half fast
expert on when and why its usable, Only as a method to save or
stave off a crash but not much use to actually go around faster.
Last pm returning from after dark hitting THE Mud Trixie went nutzo
on me to point she low sided then hi sided off my L then R knee with
luggage sways aggravating the recovery too fast for fear to hit till
afterwards. I was going like 25 mph at the time.
I avoided touching ground in rain suit the whole miserable and multiple investigations of Wes's failing '71 Cdo as knew I'd be a wetter colder critter if got a hole in it. Wes would stretch out on ground or kneel to diddle bike
but not me longing in seat against luggage so long a go almost fell off
napping. Just reality checked rain suit to see hole at L knee to match
the thump I'd felt but R knee only hit mud w/o a stone so just scratched.
I told Wes how close I'd come to calling him back out to retrieve
me and he told me he also almost lost it to point of almost getting off
to walk it last leg home up muddy Mt path.
Kenny Cummings also told me he's gotten too low on his racer it
pogo'd off peg so used knee puck to lift back on tires in nick of time.
guarantee his race track ballistics made his save a piece of cake compared.
I also use knee stuck out when something shoved me onto berm crest
at edge of ditch to balance bike away from edge w/o having to use
any fork action that would slip out into the ditch. Its a crash save
action not a go faster method duh, so not very concerned to take on
the balloon tire elites track times once ole Peel is up and able.
I felt Trixie's Isolastic dong their chassis twist compliant wonder
and have gone down on my highly respected handling SV650 in
way less servere antics, so state again in case ya miss understand
me, I have nil respect for the elite moderns handling but highest
respect to those risking life and limb on such unstable unpredictable
dangerous things. My goal is to gloat on proving the isoloastic
Commando is the fastest way to travel Around, short of mental projection
the Moody Blues sings about. I'm hi as a kite having cheated
crashes twice this week. hobot
