[QUOTE="user 213, post: 532440, member: 213"] With all due respect Pete, having actually done this, I'm not seeing safety issues here. As for "rideability", you may note in my posts that I don't have any issues with how it rides. However, I base that on [I]my[/I] riding style, [I]my[/I] experience, [I]my[/I] bike and the road conditions [I]I[/I] ride in. YMMV. I knew before I did this that I would have to listen to dozens upon dozens of people with no actual experience riding on a CT telling me I'm going to die a flaming death, I'm unsafe, etc, etc. I did it to evaluate the CT for myself, [I]first hand[/I]. I'm sharing it with the forum so others have a single data point that directly relates to the FJR. That's [U]ONE[/U] data point, mine. If another person tries it, then they can add a second data point. Maybe, just maybe, there will build up enough data that others can more easily decide if they want to try this or if they shouldn't try this. Regardless, we all benefit from a little experimentation and sharing of info. [/QUOTE]
