Two thoughts:
1) You should have died.
and B) Forza does not weigh 500 lbs, you're just old.
But a great story!
Long, but with one restroom break, and a cookie - I stuck with the whole enchilada.

Halloween, Policeman & big Trucks
Not many kids riding the school bus these days. That 'wondering?' youngster is wearing a mask. https://i.postimg.cc/fRJrbJZV/P1130037.jpg Village policeman patrolling the alley back here stopped and watched me for a time. After several years, they're pretty used to finding me with a scooter and a ca...

Are your mirrors too short?
See what I noticed one day...? I had to go to those horrible billet mirror "extenders" in order to see behind me on my Forza. They look like Chinese add-on cr_p. Then I noticed that the mirrors on my son's CBX500 Honda were exactly like mine - but with a longer stem! I ordered a pair of th...

Great Labor Day weather brought out the bikes!
Into my coffee village with the family today for lunch at my sidewalk spot - and farm market. I bet I saw nearly 100 two wheel folks in town, or riding through it. The ONLY rider which I saw not wearing a helmet.... was the guy riding this new 125 Kymco Agility, parked next to the nice Yamaha. (ther...

What's the matter with Pops?
Mrs. Fish: "How was your ride?" Fish: "Yeah. Fine..." Daughter: "What's the matter with Pops?" Mrs: "He thought it was going to rain..." I was all geared up for a nice rain ride. Rained north of me, and south of me. Sat on the Group W bench waiting for it........

Re: 6 foot on 2nd gen model?
It'll probably be less cramped than the original because the seat is higher relative to the footboards (and the ground) Your height is less of a factor than your leg length. Plenty review videos. Mr. Fish said he would buy one despite it being a bit small for him, but I believe he's a really big fe...

Re: Can a Honda Forza 300 engine break?
Can you rent a 300cc scooter and try your olympic category slalom course? Each time you need to slow for those very tight corners - you'll be 100% brakes. Engine braking will have just vanished at that slow speed. Brake disc warp might pay you repeated visits? Boiled brake fluid with air, now? Serio...

Re: Can a Honda Forza 300 engine break?
Nope, too steep, bends too tight, too often, too far!
A nice 300-500cc motorcycle with a set of gears is what you need.

Explaining algebra to a kid
My granddaughter asked.
I explained that it is a mysterious and unfathomable (to me) system which will answer questions like the following :
"If a bus is going 37mph headed for Cleveland, and it's snowing in Omaha - what color is the chicken?"
She seemed to buy that.
