  1. This is what I see: The red line represents where your bike is pointing. The Green line represents where I think your bike should be pointed approximately. The blue line represents the "time lost" meaning you are having to wait for your bike to find direction to point to the next apex. The longer you have to wait for direction - the longer you theoretically have to wait to stand the bike up, get on the fat part of the tire, and open the throttle. It looks like you may be pin'd already but did you have to increase lean angle while pin'd to find that direction? Probably - which opens you up for more risk. You may be able to get away with this running mini's but on a big bike this wouldn't work out as well. You'd have to increase or stay at lean angle to find the proper direction and therefore make you wait longer to open up the throttle, and you are spending extra time in the riskiest zone (high lean angle). Your body looks good!
  2. Right but I think what Craig is saying is you arent even close to being pointed at the second apex.
  3. lol the direction of your bike needs to catch up with the direction of everything else going on. idk how you did this haha
  4. Yes, it was. Hell yes. Thats the only reason I'm a member of that group - to watch the dumpster fire and stir the pot.
  5. Anyone a member of the Columbus Riders facebook group? Constant entertainment. What a dumpster fire. @DerekClouser @jacobhawkins @what

  11. I'm waiting on 2 things from BikeBandit. An air filter for my sv that I ordered on the 16th still hasnt been shipped.....
  12. The 675 has more low end grunt and doesn't require you to be constantly ringing it's neck for power. More forgiving if you aren't quite in the right gear for a particular corner - you can still get good drive. The 675 is definitely a look where you want to go kind of bike - super agile. You've got a lot of fork tube showing. I (and a lot of other's that run 675's) run them nearly flush with the triple. You just need to adjust your body position and your movements side-to-side to account for you not being able to move your leg's once you've turned in. Make sure you aren't riding with your balls completely against the tank. You want about a fist's worth of space there so you can easily go side to side without having to rotate your hips which is extra movement which isn't needed. You should be pretty much set up body position wise before turn in and not making major lower body position changes once turned in. Need to set up for the turn and have that asscheek off the side of the seat ideally before the braking zone so all you need to do at tip in is pretty much put that input on the bars and tip in. I'm rarely ever in the center of the seat - even on a straight away - I'm nearly always set up for the next corner. Less movement on tip in means less that can upset the bike on tip in and less to think about - you can concentrate modulating the brakes until you find your desired direction (get the bike pointed for exit). After you've got direction you can start standing her up again and getting back on the gas.
  13. Don't let Jim hear you say that. The Goldwing is a perfect motorcycle.
  14. I think its time to shake up the Mod's in this place. Make me a Mod - I wont close shit besides fs threads.
