Re: Stopping distances

Would you be kind enough to explain how those will help? More
traction is wasted, you can flip a sportbike over the front wheel with
street tires.

I didn't know we were only talking about sport bikes... You said, "Bottom
line: 80 to 0 in 100 feet is pure fantasy." That doesn't rule out my
Valkyrie with racing tires custom made for a big bike. :) If you can flip
my Valk over the front wheel without hitting something, you're better than
me because I've tried the limits of the front tire and it eventually simply
skids.

I was simply pointing out that your "cover all" statement didn't really
cover all. What if the bike was a chopper with racing slicks front and back
on a custom racing-slick rubber track? <grin>
