The 'beast' has been road leg

Submitted by David_botting on 30 June, 2005 - 8:22pm.

The 'beast' has been road legal for a couple of months now.

I've covered about 150ish miles so far.

I've been pretty shocked at how totally different FF riding is!!!

I'm having trouble judging braking, and tipping in. Heavy countersteering is required unti you're on the power, then it feels great. (maybe some chassis fiddling may help - or maybe i'll get used to it?!)
So far i'm well off the pace for fast riding.

The supports are working well, but again some areas for improvement are begining to be evident now that i'm covering some miles. The 'footrest to support-pedal' time is currentlty a little slow, requiring careful riding in city traffic.

The actual support given does however exceed that given by the ordinary use of legs/feet from a sitting position.
