[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 175735, member: 1295"] Slowing down from around 200mph, both chutes were deployed. I'm going about 70mph when I start to turn the wheel and come off the course to the right and am working the brake to slow further. I'm guessing at about 30mph I feel comfortable enough to coast and take my left hand off the wheel and rest it on my knee and that’s when all hell busts loose. Not sure you can tell but the centrifical force actually bowed the grips of the butterfly wheel out. Had to stick it between my legs and squeeze it back closed. This is actually the 2nd time this has happened to me. But the first time I was hanging onto the wheel and being towed to the start line. And dad who was towing me was in lala land talking not looking back or watching his mirrors. I started screaming into my headset for him to stop. He drug me like 300 feet with the frontend hopping lock to lock. How he didnt feel that jerking on the strap I'll never know, cause it is violent! The steering just sucks ass bad below 50mph no getting around that, but at 200 its like a Cadillac in the slow lane, couldnt be more smooth and comfortable. [/QUOTE]
