It's a rare occasion when I get stuck behind a queue of traffic for any length of time but recently I was in such a situation for about 25 minutes. It wasn't possible to do a 'white line' sprint overtaking because the A road (UK) in question was very narrow and there was a lot of oncomming traffic. So it was start-stop until the road was clear. I had a Kawasaki rider beside me and as the traffic pulled forward then stopped he could keep a really good straight line at slow speed. It took me by surprise how hard it is to do this with my 2011 America.
I have ridden bikes for years and my last bike, a Honda Shadow 750 could very easily maintain a straight line at slow speed. I cannot figure out why it is that this bike should be so hard to do this. Any thoughts on this guys?
