queried about how they did it, they would say things like "you gotta
get your weight back and go real easy on the handlebars", or some

advice I have heard from recumbent riders when they offer their wisdom
about keeping the rubber side down.


Ah, so when people tell you that a particular style of bike has
certain requirements due to geometry, you won't ride that way so it's
the bike's fault.

Funny really. When I've ridden an off road motorcycle I find that if
you ride it as it's supposed to be ridden it works a lot better than
riding it as though it's a roadracer.

Who'd have thought that the lack of an engine completely negates that.
Learn something every day.

- who finds that trying to ride the roadracer like a dirtbike doesn't
work either...
