Cool! But not relistic for the real world. I like the Back Off! module on my M2, I can activate that with a light touch on either brake lever and it flashes four time and and then stays on for 3.5 seconds. http://www.signaldynamics.com/products/BLSM/blsm.asp Seems to work, I can often see people react to it by dropping back a little. I try not to get too wrapped up in the stuff going on behind me though, most of the scary stuff happens up front. Jack (Message edited by jackbequick on May 06, 2006) |

OK, who's going to be first to put this on their Buell? Wonder what it would have looked like if he had been going a little faster, like down the interstate at about 70+. |

Glitch, I was wondering the same thing. That bike with the bags in the back will develop some reverse airflow behind it and I'd bet at speed, the guy would fry the back of the bike (maybe a good reason NOT to wear buttless chaps) - |

I think you're right, it wouldn't work too good at speed. I like the Back Off module idea better. |

"Wonder what it would have looked like if he had been going a little faster, like down the interstate at about 70+." Well, it was a harley. That probably was his top speed! |

Chase, we can agree to disagree on that. Some people will over react when you give them the finger. If they over react and become aggressive too, you can have a situation where you are at a several thousand pound disadvantage. It might not make sense. But I know exactly why you do it and how you feel, I was that way or sort of that way myself once. And you'll change eventually too. Jack |

I cant complain too much. Being back in Texas, has made riding/commuting ALOT less stressful than when i will living up north, or in Virginia. There are ALOT of bikes on teh road here, and cagers SEEM to be ALOT more aware, and cautious of bikes... The only problem is the heat, and leather... Anyway, its not so bad here, I dont find myself "fending for my life" in my daily commute, or even pleasure cruises...unless I am fighting the wind...(Corpus is a WINDY city, far mo so than Chicago).. Now, to lighten that up a bit, it was ment as a joke...the net ast work is slow ...so, smilies dont load up well.... Chase |

Why is that a problem? You can pick up extra income removing old paint lines off the streets! |
