Re: [ST] Governator sidecar

[<rik.relph@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When going slowly it handels like a "drunk pig".
When going fast it is more like an un-giuded missile.

One of the funerals I did, the widow rode pillian and asked me to take the deceased for one last fast ride, 85mph.

The guy who owns the bikes has an old Daytona 900, an Adventurer, and a Harley setup as well.

Somehow I don't think that 'Busa is built for cornering.  Have a look 
at the front tyre on the thing.  I guess when you have to brake with 
that much extra weight you need all the contact area you can get.
