My dad's in town so I took him for a spin on the RTS. I discovered what it takes to get a front wheel up with him aboard.
I'm not used to having 200+ pounds riding pillion. I stiffened up the rear suspension. Front shocks are already preloaded to the max as I go 230-250 pounds depending on proximity of my military PT test. I loaded a couple extra psi in the front tires as well. I jet around a corner at an intersection at my normal speed and whoop the inside wheel was UP. No nanny. No nothing. I about pooed myself.
I'm kind of glad it happened to keep me honest. I was starting to get a little overly trusting on it.
Anyone else lift a wheel on an RTS yet? If so, how'd ya do it? And did the nanny tattle on ya?
