Woah, Rick!
you can't just drop a little tidbit like that without giving us more. What
do you mean "It really is a matter concerning trail and steering."-- ?? Are
you saying we need to build these things with geometry that is more
responsive to (handlebar) turn inputs?
Russ
p.s. sorry you didn't make SpeedWeek; I had been hoping to meet you and get
a look at your bike.

So how do you steer and correct
these motions to get it to go the direction you want?
Bill,
You are strapped in the cockpit so tight, that you can not generate body
English to correct travel. It really is a matter concerning trail and
steering. Perhaps in the old days of motorcycle streramliners, they could
steer with body, but not now.
As for the answers, I need more seat time to help you. We had planned to
be
at Salt this year, but things happen. We are planning a return to Maxton
next
month for more practice on learning what makes them stay upright.
