Watching those bikes on a cone course was like watching dancing elephants in a circus. They are amazing to look at. Graceful for their size. The instructors rode a small 250 Honda for demonstrations and looked very fast by comparison.

Soldiers on Motorcycles
A dozen soldiers in my unit had a special session of the weekend-long Motorcycle Safety course at the Pennsylvania State Police high-speed driving school near Fort Indiantown Gap. Of the twelve, 10 were on bikes that could be categorized as Cruisers--long wheelbase Harleys and similar Hog-like bikes.
