  1. I just completed the Military Sportbike Rider Course aka Advanced Rider Course (ARC).  It was a lot of fun.  Too much classroom "preaching" for my taste, but the range time was well spent.  Similar to other MSF courses, but at higher speeds, lower lean angles, and emphasis on smoothness.  I really enjoyed the lean off/tight circles, the decreasing radius drill, and need to practice more on my aggressive swerve.

     

    Hit me up if you have any questions.

     

    **Doing it the day after the epic ride has me a little sore**

  2. This thread is a win!

     

    I just learned two new phrases...

     

    ... Really gets me worked up when someone tries to piss on my leg.

     

    Quite simple in my books - you have every right to be an asshole, but then, be prepared to get shit smeared all over you!

  3. Leaving the house for work.  I was having some fun, really getting on the front brake.  I approach a stop sign to turn right.   There happened to be a piece of smooth flat plastic on the street.  It was the same color as the asphalt, lol.  The front washes out from me.  I drop the bike in super slow-mo.  It was so slow that noone asked if I was ok, or offered help.  I turn around to take the bike home, because my turn signal busted.

     

    So I get to work on the nicest day of the year.  In my car.  With no gear.  All my friends are asking where the bike is.  I told them I fell on a piece of plastic.  Something is lost in translation, because they all laugh at the possibility of litter taking me down.  I still get shit about it.  3 years later.  Bastards.

     

     

    **Bonus**  Everybody stalls a vehicle at some point in there life.  Unfortunately stalling the bike in front of a cop really had me pretty embarrassed.
