Re: [ST] Counter Rotating Brakes

[Matthew Heyer <matthewheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Definitely was not the "low speed" - we were hustling at 90mph or so nearly dragging stuff through turns - some nice high speed back and forth turning through West Virginia - VERY FUN!!  We did have some "slower" tighter 30-40 mph stuff thrown in too.  Were it not for the turning, I can cruise on the ST for nearly forever.  But then where is the fun in that??
 
And the these brakes obvioulsy don't have anything to do with soaking up bumps or the actual braking force compressing the suspension.

It's not the turning action that sometimes tires my wrists, but
more lower speed touring which lacks the windblast which reliefs
my wrists at higher speeds (which makes steering harder, but
doesn't tire as much as leaning on them without "air-support").

I'm sure that these counter rotating brakes will prevent the
need for more stiffer suspension a lot, in terms of handling...
