RE: [ST] Bag eating ST or One Dumb Rider!



Oh, that's too good.  Got a good belly laugh out of that one.  Just what I
wanted to hear.  I love it!  Some people just don't understand.  You
obviously do.

Yes, achievement of top end was on the way back, the day after the
bag-eating incident.  Without the bag I felt like I could go a little
faster. :))  Who knows, maybe one could eek out 3-5 more mph without the
hard bags, eh? :)  Then again, the hard bags make for good rear frame
sliders.

I did learn a bike can be steered somewhat with the rear tire locked up.
Last time my rear tire locked up (unexpectedly) I went straight through a
corner on North Carolina Route 28, a couple miles out of Deals Gap.  I
didn't know the bike would steer with a locked up rear tire, then again I
didn't bother trying to steer when I went through that corner.  It appears
that one can survive rear wheel lockup on the Autobahn if you're mostly
going straight.
