    Motorcycles have terrible brakes to begin with. That thing probably takes ten football fields to stop.

        My 1000 had something like a 155 wide front tire and the force required to stop goes up exponentially as you go faster. They stop so bad.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
