Slid bikes a time or just, never you mind, but uh not since umm Tuesday on the FJR. The hot rod XS Madness nearly got me, an older tire and "more effective than my other XS' drum" disk rear made for an "unusual" corner entry line. My current riding stable now has a couple of XS with drum rear, one with upgraded front, a royal star venture cruiser which is long and HEAVY, now has upgraded front brakes with a smaller front MC on the way, and the FJR with "sport bike" freshly redone forks and front brakes. It can get tricky remembering the braking ratio for each of the bikes for best stopping.
Bit of a story; last fall in Georgia on the RSV a single high hanging stop light on a steep down grade confused me about where the stop line was. I grabbed a LOAD of front brake to make the stop, even that old pig got light on the rear and the worn rear tire danced a bit before I got the bike halted.
