Well, that is interesting. Fortunately, I am no longer a young 'buck' and so have nothing to prove anymore, so I tend to drive fairly reasonably and responsibly, both charactistics keep me out of trouble nowadays. And even if I do 'get a wild hair' going for some reason, I tend to do it away from traffic and others so that I'm the only one at risk. So should that happen, I'll keep your comments in mind! Thank you! >And when it's dry with open smooth roads it's very very good indeed! I have really enjoyed it's 'flat' handling, especially coming out of, or going into, turns. Like freeway 'cloverleaves' and the like. Very predictable, smooth, flat. And even when I get the tires to squeal a bit, nothing weird happens. I had a friend riding with me when I first got it, (4 months ago), and I took an off-ramp at a good pace, and his response was, "Ooooooooo......very nice." Hehehe, just the kind of thing we all love to hear. Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. Good luck on the selling of your T16, you're right, someone will get a good deal. Are you sure you don't want to park it in the backyard for those 'weekend drives'? Cheers.
