Thanks

This stuff can save your life. I practiced it for a while until it
became unconscious. One day on the street I got into a
decreasing-radius corner way too hot, I leaned on the inside bar and peg
big-time and heeled it over further than I thought it would ever go.
Thank God, I made it through.
Another thing I read somewhere is that most fatal crashes came in
situations where the bike could have actually navigated the road and
stayed upright...basically what the guy said is that the rider just gave
up and bailed off, only to be clotheslined by a guardrail or run over.
I wish I could remember who wrote it, but he said to stay on at all
costs, don't ever lay it down. If you think you can low-side and bail,
you will. So get it set in your mind that this isn't an option. I also
had a chance to test this one out in very high winds during a bad
thunderstorm on a country road I hadn't been on before.
Ride Safe!

Hi Bill,
Punky & Lew have their own yahoo group, and he has recently updated it.
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Punky_n_Lew_n_Achi_2/
They are doing fine, and it sounds like they are going to ride down south
again soon.

Thanks, Alan! I really used to enjoy reading his stuff. I guess that
