I noticed that the Indians were particularly wobbly under braking and acceleration- would definitely slow me down. Those big fairings sure make for good drafting. Don't want to be the leader coming out of the last chicane on the last lap.
This type of racing reminds me of the semi-tractor truck racing in Europe years ago (do they still do that?). What's the point? A friend suggested that they have iced down beer in the bags or carry a passenger, or both.

Seems they have a lot more ground clearance than any of those I've seen in person on the road. Agreed on the flex and wobble.
Happiness comes not from what you have, but from enjoying all that you do have no matter how much or little that may be.

Good to see my fellow country man Jeremy McWilliams get a win at King of the Baggers and then get on the podium at the North West 200, he's still got it even at 58 years old.
