"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

In really funky, deep, 180º hairpin turns I have found I can tap the pavement with my mirror.  It's more road shape than my riding ability.

It's the new Tactical riding gear it improves stealthiness on sunny days.

On a more related topic Supermoto's are the funnest thing on two wheels below 70mph. I get to ride my brothers SXV550 every now and then I turn into a hyperactive school boy who can't sit still  Dolph
