Lines: 15 If I'm going a fair distance (anything over about four blocks), my hands tend to get tired from gripping the bars. Since muscle cramps aren't all that fun, I try relax at least one (still haven't figured out how to really relax and hold the throttle, though). As for loss of control, I have no problems up to ~73, at which point the bike tries to self-destruct. The fairing is aerodynamic enough to push the front end down, thus no real loss of traction. Then again, it could just be a manifestation of my suicidal qualities. Rube Goldberg II (djm@nmtvax)
