That guy really has to work at getting from one side of the bike to the other in the turns.

The Goldwing seemed to keep up pretty good with the others, or was he one lap behind? :smilie_happy:

I've noticed my bikes don't like to turn. I have to manhandle them quite agressively in the twisties and the faster I go the more sluggish they seem to get. But they sure do like the highway though!
That would be fun to practice on a controlled environment and I hear the 1800s are a lot more agile than 1100.
I have never rode a 1800 and I don't want to till the bike is in my budget, plus I'm not a Hot Rodder I just love the feel of the open road.
Here's another guy on a 1800 that can really ride.

I have rode bikes almost all my life , well over 40 years of it anyway , I'm ( 59 ) and have owned many different bikes , and I LOVE speed and the smell of tire smoke...... BUT, I'll admit when I first got my Goldwing, it was BIG , WIDE , and I was a little afraid of it . and even now after riding it a while , there is noway I could take a corner on it like that . or at least there is noway I would try it. :smilie_happy:
