GREAT article, thanks for posting! Not everyone thinks about how different bikes react on different roadways, how a heavier, lower bike will handle a "decreasing radius curve", or a "graded curve". I had a Thruxton and a Scrambler I had been driving for a few years. I was considering a bigger bike and my buddy offered to sell me his Harley Road King and let me take it for a ride. We have a road that's called Trinity Road where it starts in Sonoma County and then turns into Dry Creek Road and then Oakville Grade on the Napa County side. Not sure why I thought that was a good place to take a bike that big on a test drive, but at least now I know after reading this article what I did a couple of times is called "Tri-Podding". Made it to the other side, but took a different route back home. I'm happy to say my Rocket handles that road just fine, probably my favorite thing about this bike is how well it handles curves, for being such a beast in the straightaway!
