Lol I just wanted to brag that Michael addresses my question on the podcast this week I feel famous. Lol. Is it sad that this is one of my biggest accomplishments?

It was a good question. Still like the idea of how to draw and brake (especially since I'm one of the three that doesn't do motorcycles hahaha). Mountain biking there's a chance I'd have to draw down on a cat since they do tend to attack and do roam where I bike.

Dakota- hopefully will never have to be in the situation to draw and brake. Lol. Really on my bike I feel I can out run most. The times I worry is red lights in the city and after getting off the bike of course. I found myself in a not so great area around some ship yards a couple weeks ago while I was checking out a road I had read about for this great view. Average joe citizen didnt tell me it drops you down into the seedy part of a city where my bike looked like a prize to many of the inhabitants. I will admit the view was great from above up on the bluff. :-)

I have been a little out of the loop lately. Your conversation reminds me that I saw something about an upcoming carry on the bike.
Without listening I am ass you (&) me ing that you have issues with the right handed gun draw and hitting the brakes:
Get a Goldwing! They cross their brake system, so when I hammer the rear brake it also applies one front caliper.
Now, time to listen to podcast.

Don't need to worry about it. Our Can-Am has a foot brake pedal only. I can put on the cruse control as low as 35 maybe lower so I have my right hand free. Ksail, I think 145 is enough to outrun most bg's but it's a bit big to maneuver thru traffic! LOL
