Well I finally crashed the Catrike. The crash was directly related to brake
steer and hyper sensitive steering at high speed descent. My computer tells
me I was doing 95.4kph when I crashed but I have a hard time believing it.
My guess would have been 70-75. I tend to firm up my grip and "lock-on" to
the bars as my speed goes over 50kph and this seems to be exactly the wrong
thing to do. My fear just takes over and I over-control the bike. If I can't
get a handle on the high speed stability then I'll have to go.... slower, I
guess, If I have to.
Also, anyone with numb toes, I'm trying to find my best boom length and such
and haven't got it right yet.
