I was gonna stir the GPS pot, but then it disappeared, so here's a new pot to stir

having our Zumo mounted to the top of the dash & in direct line of site on Teds Red Sled,when we get to the beginning of a Twisty stretch, I zoom in pretty close, and then its just like having a Heads Up Display Cheat Sheet of the next blind curve ahead that we might not be able to see, giving a valuable second or two to adjust for it

Just a quick question about your photo there...it is observed that the left front tire is off the ground. If you were turning to the left, you under-steered and the centripetal forces brought the bike back up and the tire off the ground. It is desired to keep all the tires on the ground. If you were racing a two wheeler, you would've missed your turn as the bike would have been stood back up.

My question is...do you realize that by lifting the tire up, that you are understeering (really more-so not leaning enough), thus not countering the centripetal forces with proper centrifugal forces to counter properly? This is quite dangerous as you are more likely to lose control of the bike...

My right arm is straight and locked, so I can't really lean any further to the left. My only options are to slow down or replace the factory swaybar. Only one course of action is likely.

For what it's worth, the tire wasn't up long before Nanny took care of it.

gotcha...interesting...I've never locked out an arm when in a turn....prefer to keep everything tight as this allows me to better control my body on tight turns.

I've had the luxury of riding with guys who always tease me about the inability of a Spyder to keep up with their magnas, harleys, etc... in the turns..now they know I can keep up just fine...but it is a much more physical task than being on a two wheeler...(buddies...they're cool but we do tease one another)...riding with them has made me a far better and safer rider...

ArmyJoe...I'll assume you were in/are in the army...thank you for your service..my wife is working today at Bethesda Naval/Walter Reed...army pediatrician...
