Sure, and the added benefit is it makes all the drivers of oncoming vehicles cross-eyed too!

Florida resident, last couple of bikes have been an Aprilia Tuono Factory, Triumph Sprint ST with Ohlins rear and front forks revalved and sprung, and a BMW R1100S. I like lean angles, just get tired of having to clover leaf on/off ramps to generate much.

Assume this is a joke (like ragging LEOs about doughnuts, gets a little old). Maybe the FL guys do as I do here in Iowa-just strap the bike to the back of the stagecoach to haul me to the twisties. Ian, Iowa

I don't think you realize how BIG FL is, not to mention how flat.
