Exactly.
My.
Point.
I geek out on the unusual.
Last week I really got this local wine guy wound up when telling me about his trip to Spain, . . . "all the wonderful cabs," he drank.
I was thinking out loud and not trying to hurt his feelings, but I said, "in Spain, why not try all the Spanish varietals, especially the ones we have so little access to."
He was butt-hurt to the maximum. Hey, it's his vacation or junket, sounds like he had a great time. If cabs are what float his boat, by all means, rock out with your cab out.
Back to a Japanese bike show/ride. I think bringing this bike would be nothing they haven't seen. Perhaps I bring something a lil more esoteric.
Huffy is really the best answer.
As far as the ride, I was trying to convey geometry and my own sense of balance so I used the two, one, no hands analogy.
I'll try to think of another way to describe the balance and ride without others showing concern on my wheel dish, etc.
Like I was saying, the ride was enjoyable and I did not feel fatigued the least. It wasn't the longest of rides, and there were sliders, beer, tots and beer stops.
Can't wait to do it again.
