- Where they get much flatter ?? Ever heard the term "Road Pizza"?
- This sounds like one of those trick questions. Tuck and roll =
- more ground covered. Increase friction and you slow down faster.
- If it was a busy 4 lane interstate I think I'd want to slow down
- faster, alot of it has to do with what direction I'm moving in
- when I leave the bike and what I would hit. A cement divider
- with no shoulder could be embarrassing, a grass divider would
- be nicer. However to survive a high speed getoff and then
- get run over would not be a good time to buy a lottery ticket.
