Ok, some of these are pretty frickin' funny. Especially the web pages. Look at the headlines, then look at the ads on the sidebar of the screen captures.

You gotta love the technology that serves up ads based on the content of the articles.

The teachers aid one got to me.I dug a little deeper into it and found that some of the teachers or aids were ugly as hell.There were a few hotties thatI would never have told my parents about.I would have been afraid to stop a good thing at 13-15 years old.Knowing me it would have escalated between us.Dale is the bike getting to be your best freind yet?

Well, I've put 900 miles on it in two weeks. So we are definitely getting friendlier.

Making sharp turns from a standing stop at lights, stop signs, etc., are still a little nerve-wracking, though.

Those bother me also.What I do is try and point towards the turn when I pull to a stop so I don't have to turn as far.Does that make sense?

I'm getting more comfortable about turning right after a stop sign or light. But it still find I use too much throttle.

Yeah, it makes sense, except for one thing. If your wheel is turned when you stop, add just a little too much brake and the bike will want to just flop right on over in the direction of your turn.

It's the Devil Physics, having its way with you.

For me, stopping with the wheel straight is the best policy.
