But for the sake of repetition, I'll bring it back up.

Yeah obviously. I'm just coming from the point of view that I have a whole lot of twisty roads around me that I ride on, and I can't think of one time that I had a car stuck behind me.

Smokey's head is bigger than the dog in the pic. He's almost as big as my Nighthawk.

For those who don't know, Smokey is my black lab - he's ~110 lbs and at that weight looks anorexic. And yes, his head alone is about as big as the dog in that pic.

Well...hum.. Get a REAL BIG bike for him. Maybe a Boss Hoss or something, heh.

Thanks for pointing that out.

That's because the car is usually "stuck" behind you in the middle of the corner, where you're paying attention to the corner, and then you come out of it quick enough to give yourself some distance before you look back. That's what always happens to me, and why the bikes never seem to pull over.
