That means the rider leans forward, the pegs are back a little, and the handlebars are flatter than the typical American style, which is more of what we would call a "chopper" style. Now, given the European riding style, is there any point in buying a fairing? I suppose it can make things easier in cold weather and rain, but on the other hand, I expect it'd eliminate the desirable lifting of the riders's weight off his (her) wrists by the wind. I'd like to hear from someone who has put a fairing on a European riding style bike. ---------------------------------------- the canned signature of Jack Waugh Computer Consoles, Inc., Reston, Va. {seismo | allegra | mcnc | we13 | brl-bmd}!rlgvax!jack rlgvax!jack @ SEISMO
