motorcycle touring
Heard on a radio show on hazards.
"San Francisco is in the center of some of the most beautiful motorcycle touring in the world." Having lived there, I must admit it is beautiful, but I don't think I would want to drive a bike too far west of San Francisco. |

I would think that driving any manual-shift vehicle in SF would get real old real fast. -- Cheers, Bev =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- He's your god.

Obviously they didn't mean "center" in a geographical way. With that said, IME the only condition where manual transmission is a bit of work is in multi-lane stop-and-go traffic, were you need to keep a close distance to the vehicle in front, or else someone will cut ahead. On a motorcycle you don't need to worry about that, since you're above it all, lane splitting. Ulf |

My car had a HD clutch and T-10 tranny fourspeed. Thus, I had to hold the car in place withy the parking brake, whichb didn't wok due to Boston rust, si needed the right foot. The accelerator also needed the right foot. and the keft was for the HD cluych. It was fun going upo that hill as each cars stopped at the top for the stop sign/ I soon got a more suitable car. |

I never felt comfy splitting unless there was lots of room, everybody was stopped, and the back seats were empty. Didn't happen all that often. -- Cheers, Bev 66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 6 "I wish I had more time to seek out the dark forces and join their hellish crusade." -- Clarice |

Hmm, if the kid was that nasty, you could always say to him or her "how cute, how would you like to feel the nice shiny exhaust pipe on my motorcycle" |
