For what it’s worth, sometimes the MSF instructors make catastrophic decisions based on no data.  You being in Washington and having to pass a three wheel certification is kind of over regulated to me.  And, yes, some of us get more literal with guidelines than others may be expecting.  

Next time!  Go get em!

Back in the day she learned 2 wheels on my old RD400 that we had dialed up pretty hot (all the typical stuff) so the throttle was basically a switch, so she's not a shrinking violet.

She's currently working on her six-pack captain's license. My wife is more macho than I am...well, that's not exactly the highest bar

 

Until I find a rig that fits, I'll just have to get around on the water-cycle (it's actually practical to get from island to island.  Looking at extending the range so maybe I can bypass going south past Seattle) -- poor me

jet

@jdwinger i have a HP rig designed by Bill Ballou, built by Hannigan. And it is for sale. 2008 Kawasaki Concourse with a 2+2, 70K.

 

i am not familiar with this method of communicating, text message, or email would be better.

Regards

@hpsidecarguy, is your Kawi Concourse one of the 3 CHS rigs that was at the Maine sidecar gathering last June ?

Bill Ballou was there with his CHS rig, and there were 2 others with him. I got to drive Bill's rig, as he asked to drive mine.

No, I did not attend the rally. Sorry I missed Bill. I always enjoy spending time with him.
