Learn something new every day

[steve porter]

Took the 1400 out last night for the monthly Pizza night with the boys and learnt 2 things
1 , the front brakes work well enough to lock the wheel at 60 ish KPH, I was in the right hand of two right turn lanes when the person in the left right turn lane decided to jump in my lane and hit the brakes after crossing the line as the arrow just turned yellow, close call, and the first time I have thought that ABS isn`t such a bad idea.
2,  you all probably know this already, but with the side stand down and the bike in gear and the clutch pulled in the bike behaves exactly like it has a dead battery when you hit the starter.
