Wife showed me how to grab stills off of video so had a closer look at parking lot circles till bust. I don't know about you all but I can't work up nerve to really turn well on hwys until I know how far a bike will tip over and still stick w/o surprises. Factory 750's are pleasantly handy - once sorted out stem to stern. Still got a few smudges to polish up on Trixie but she's getting there with some punctuated show stoppers.

Here's part of a cycling clockwise 11 to 5 o'clockish.

Here's whipping it around Wesley the other way, in other words I'm finishing a LH leaned turn and turning it into a RH one by a bit of the gun, that scuffed the tire out a bit and got me the lift up I wanted off of some frame twist as axle let go. I think the wheel is a bit cockeye'd here. One thing I am pleased to see was how much the rear patch squatted out going so slow. Note fork got whipped back into straight steer just as bike lifts up, already aimed the right way as bike finishes its little flip up into new direction.

Steve, i think a stablizer would go a mis here. same as the police use to train there riders...it #s better than repairs. and you can then go boldy where no man as been before :lol:
 
Sorry John I do not understand all your comments. If you've ever sailed a tack you know you have to duck the boom changing sides forcfully all by itself and a stabilizer would only hinder it like an drag anchor so I've no use for steering damper if thats what you mean by stabilizer. I just got barely started with no real intention to play much but it was plenty enough in a few minutes to get sense of Trixie under my thumb in these slow speed loads. May be out next week in tighter quarters closer to home now I know how sharp she can turn w/o even hopping up. Parking lot cone tests are on my mind as they hold them often at a big HD vender parking lot. Trixie needs a bit more lean clearance to do what I want in parking lots so will have to break her pure factory rule with some rear sets. This may allow less side force on swing arm and more load straight into suspension that can take it that way.

Trixie did demo the tire smash I want Peels blown big block torque to hit on in apexes. Peel has 19mm one piece drilled out axle.
