Puget Sound, late afternoon, La Marseillaise plays on the stereo de batte : Fresh from the Batcave's
Anti-Grav Laboratory, the duo dynamique are aboard the BatBoat eating hotdogs, skimming over the
Sound toward the Pacific and the horizon under a beautte of a clear blue sky!! "Wow, Homme de batte,
this new anti-grav device does the job! "Right Robin, who would have thought applying a Colnago's
rear brake to the prop shaft would sent us hurtling toward the horizon." We have Jobst Brandt to
thank… "Holy Coincidence, Homme de batte, here's Jobst now coming up astern at an incredible rate of
speed" "Incredible" "Good!!" I'll ask Jobst a question!!" "get the Bullhorn!!!" "apply more preload
on the pads"

WHEEEEOUHHH!! "ooppps wrong switch"

"Ahoy!! Jobst!!" "On this rear brake BS vs Front Wheel Braking: Does the rider lock the front wheel
up to brake or does the rider MODULATE the brake pressure to slow the wheel just short of lockup?"
Does the rider shift weight to the front or rear to MAX the MAX BRAKE EFFECT?

"Jobst is pulling away" "more preload plus rapidement plus rapidement."

"He'll hear us!!" Turn up the Bullhorn! "WHEEEEOUHHH Merde fichu klaxon de taureau !! "Jobst, say
about the no lean no effect conundrum? Have you tried coasting down a steep long bridge incline then
trying various leg positions in the horizontal plane adjacent the top tube for directional change?
We were excercising with the Batcycle and found this exercise educational." "For example, the
balance thus given on turn entry before ‘thinking', sorry, about MAX BRAKE, against the road camber,
just for setting up, getting balanced on both contact patchs then carrying it through to MAX BRAKE
up and over the camber… ah walenda!!!" ZOOOOM!! BALANCE!! Bridge Camber to patchy asphalt."

"ah Homme de batte, that hurts my head-où est le meilleur contact poignée d'entrée de pièce
rapportée? se penchant dans la cambrure réalisant l'équilibre, loin de la cambrure de route
countersteering, ou entre les deux?

"More rear brake, Robin" Say what's that on the Horizon?" "and duh Homme de batte. Looks
like Jobst."
