    Fork brace or not, you will still feel things getting a bit "squirrely" on metal grate bridges... IMO, of course.

    Painted Lines

    I spoke to the Texas Highway Dept (close friend) who paints the lines or hires out the crew in some cases...he said...if the road has new black top the then lines painted on you should not be able to tell much difference if not in a lean in corner.....if lines were repainted over old paint....LOOK OUT!!!He also said thickness of the paint on wet roads is what to look out far and its different from state to state. Thickness of the paint will over take the roughness of the backtop and when wet can be very slick.

    The weight of the F6 is it's greatest advantage... tar snakes and the such will cause ANY bike to squirm....
