Ok....Thank you for the response.
I suppose like anything else, there are always slight variations.......
I remember last year at BUB, there was this guy that had what I would call a "recumbent m/c"......he sat flat on his butt, legs directly out in front of himself, with the engine directly behind his back. 'busa engine, I think......
The whole package was wrapped in a tubular "cage"........
Anyway......he dumped it at approx 150 mph, salt flew, but he wound up unscathed.......and the m/c just had lottsa abrasion....... the bike did NOT have a chute.........
I talked to him afterwards.....he said his main sensation during the violence was seeing his "check engine" light come ON......!! I thought that was real good humor.
