well tony in that case i would suggest you follow the thread and realize i
didn't respond to your post...hence the reference to "crotch rockets"...if
you are not the one i responded to, and you didn't mention "crotch rockets"
then why do you feel i'm talking to you? as far as gyroscopics it is
inherent of the design of motorcycles, and yes the handling of a motorcycle
depends on it, but it is not nearly the only thing the motorcycle depends
on....especially with "crotch rockets"....
