It is a challenge for sure. Everyone was say'n it was eeeasy... NOT

I live in very hilly terrain. Stopping on an uphill stop sign, 3rd car back is a bitch!!!! Then throw in a left turn! OUCH.

It is getting better. Hope it will be easy by the time I'm back from Sturgis.

Since the fender is swingarm mounted there is no difference when I sit on it. I've always got a little better than 1/2 inch clearance.

Try it with no front brake, that's when **** gets hairy. Better find neutral before ya stop or you're gonna be on the ground, stalled, in the intersection or all of the above.
