an idle observation...

Any body ever happen to notice this... while at a stop light just sitting there with both feet on the ground idleing in neutral with the front brake on...the bike is vibrating away teeth chattering, vision blurring and when you let go of the front brake it just smooths out...

Smooth as silk after take off though. That is the M.O. of the rubber glide frame/engine. I don't even notice it anymore.

Here on the coast of TX we have no incline or decline in elevation ANYWHERE so once we stop - were just there!! But I will have to give it a try to see if I notice anything...
