I had one with the Ford four, but it hadda bunch of Spearco mods on it, was able to keep up with a Sunbeam with a 289 in it, pretty sure it would've beat a stock 289 Mustang. Could smoke the big fat tires, but it moved while it was doing it. Hadda take it real easy in the rain...
Pacer... rented one of those in L.A., most underpowered car I ever drove. Just sucked gas, but that was probably because I just held the pedal on the floor most of the time, didn't have to worry about breaking any speed limits. Fun trying to merge on LA freeways when the piece of poo car can only get up to about 35 at the end of a long merge lane. A 50cc Chinese scooter would have run off and left that thing at stoplights.
Always wanted to put a 289 in a pinto

The wind fun I was referring to was the kind where you are in the middle of a corner and a big blast rolls up a holler and smacks you in the side. I don't have much movement on the ElectraGlide, but the Softail really gets moved around. I was blown 1/2 a lane several times yesterday on twisty roads deep in the hills. I spent yesterday riding in the eastern Ozarks, which are not talked about much in the motorcycle community at-large, much to my delight.
I do not think I have seen taped over crack seals, and I do not think I would like them.

Don't see much of that plastic tape over crack sealing stuff here, either. If ya run into some, do it straight on, or slow to mud riding speed, damned stuff is slick. As I should have realized, that was close, it was definitely starting to low side. Was on the 1200 with that skinny 21" front wheel, too.

Moldy, I have the 21" skinny tire on the front of my Softail. i am not a big fan of it. It looks good, but rides poor, in my estimation.
I was on a Sporty just south of the Busch brewery in St. Louis, where there is a big open area to The River, and a huge gust moved me almost a full lane over. Scared me silly. Needless to say, I got off the Interstate and rode side streets back home. I lived close to the city then.
No plastic tape, but I did encounter some inch tall tar snakes in Arkansas 2 years ago. Tar snakes tend to give me the heebie jeebies sometimes. The only good thing about the preponderance of chip and seal roads around here is that there are no tar snakes on them. Lots of tar and rocks, but no snakes.
