I would probably follow KAT as I haven't had the kawa in the twisties YET!
Ahem... if I get my bike raised... you won't have a choice... no matter what bike you ride....

If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.
Which will help IMMENSELY on the curves... and leave us with a good laugh when you stop!! (Almost stopped.. legs kicking wildly trying to reach the ground... ) I'll bring an extra clutch handle for you..
Man, I crack me up!!

Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

Tod the high heals will do the stopping, you know! And steady her curvy ride at the stops.
I love the curves, pardon, twisties

Those would be the curves on the public roads, Dell... I think the ones you may be talking about are on a private road... no trespassing... violators will be shot... as often as necessary...
lol
and Tod... I carry my own clutch lever now... just in case of gravel...
Maybe you should too...

Hmmm... Sometimes I do.. sometimes I don't. When you're able to ride without a clutch, it's really not that important. I may bring one in case you need an extra though.

And your last broken handle... though you blame me somehow for a wrong turn and your choice of turnaround spots... was all you sister!!
(Although I do wish I'd seen it...)

get over your paranoia there Bud... while it's true that my poor choice of turn around spots was my fault... it was your poor sense of direction (once again) that made me have to do it in the first place...
So just accept your portion of the blame and get over it...
lol
My last broken handle? you make it sound like this is a regular occurrence... I've only had the one...
and I wasn't IN your way... I was stopped... at a light... BOTH times... So what were my choices? be run over by you so you could run a red light? or get kicked over by you just because you're so mean?
Come to think of it... you were behind John that one time... I wasn't even IN your way...
sniff sniff
I'm tellin' Mom!
ya bully
lol
Good Heavens! Got me on the defensive today, don't you?

Rocks are bad.
Down here the acorns and pine needles are horrible also. Pine needles are like ball bearings on tires.
Take care now.
