At that first turn the light turned green and next thing you know he was off like a shot and leaned over . . . Swooping describes it perfectly. I thought that he was just showing off since he knew the road but now that I think about it he was playing with me. I think we all have a "better" side. I can turn left better than right, not so sure about the swooping though.<br /><br />I know that Dan is busy, after all he is only one person and he has to cover the whole state<br /><br />PS: not to bring this up but I've seen Max lean over to the max, in Joseph, OR & my stomach was flipping . . .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-20258393887504217352012-08-15T09:42:20.637-07:002012-08-15T09:42:20.637-07:00Nikos:

That first left turn he has onto Philomath Blvd where he swoops into the corner is what always gives me the sinking feeling when riding pillion. My stomach flips just thinking about it.
