Last year, returning from vacation, out of boredom I held my Syncro at 90 mph for mile after mile just to show a couple of BMW R1100 yuppie riders that they were not as bad as they thought. That was through the Tidewater area of Virginia on a perfectly calm day, on perfectly flat, perfectly smooth roads. The only point I made was that I was STUPID! If anything out of the ordinary had occurred, I would not be here to waste your time with this e-mail. So, with you words of wisdom echoing in my head, I will just rebuild and spend the time I save enjoying the scenery. George |
