Default RE: Ride-Str8 vs TWR

I loved the scare tactics too. "You'll need insurance if you buy the TWR model."
Ahhhh... Hello? This is an add on part that theoreticallyIS NOT NEEDED... You can drive the bike without it!!!
People are only addingthese thingsto improve handling in certain situations. Situations Millions of us deal with daily without ill-effect.
(I'm not saying these things don't work, rather many of us ride without one.)

Another thing, these things are way way way over priced for what they are doing. The parts alone are probably no more than 100 bucks in material.
They got us suckers thinking 330 is a good deal. However, when you scare the public into thinking they can't live without a ridestr8, the price of "piece of mind" makes it worth it...to most.

Good luck to you guys who are using them. Personally I have no beef with making something better or improving your ride...But to scare folks into HAVING to have it, and then over pricing it....thats a little bit of BS. I'm glad someone else is willing to make a part that seems to work and is under cutting the competition. ABOUT TIME....
