  1. Thx will, true watching yourself helps to improve a lot. Last time i saw myself on rhills video, till then i though i was shifting my body to the side enough for a street rider, but i realized i am just twisting weird and the head still right in the center.

    Seeing other riders really does help. Maybe the VFRs make it easier to sit up. I need to do some flexibility exercises so i don't look like i'm riding with a back brace. Also Doc, your dash and side cam views were really helpful to see clutch and revs.

    I try to avoid vtec in the turns, but you don't seem to worry about it. I was mostly riding 5k and only rolled thru 6700 on exit.

  2. Thanks for the vid! I just signed on to post a link to my version of Docs vid. I tried to send him the new link first to see if it was ok, but the stupid PM limit on this board wouldn't allow it.

  3. Jeff,

    My clock read 6:30 or some nonsense (i really need to check the manual) so that was no help. Going all that way for roads..gotta make it count. Shame all the good rides start 2 hrs away. That ride back hurt til i went numb. All good now tho. I have a 6x16 trailer that just sits, or is trucking back not hardcore enough?

    That "back in one piece" wasn't lost on me, you guys are quick. Worst part is i can't use my 500 lb "sport tourer" as an excuse, cause half of you ride em!

    Every time we hit fresh blacktop, everything picked up quick and still felt safer. There's your cue. I guess overcast is nice for temps, lousy for a highlight reel. The shade in the mountains prob isn't good video, but for a first ride, I'd like to see the raw vid if i give you flash drive? let me know.

  4. I just constantly change my body position or else I start to cramp up. I noticed if i rest my throttle elbow on the tank or put my toe on the peg and rest elbow to knee, it helps immensely with throttle hand. Or, what I did the last time, cross up and use the left hand to hold the throttle while resting the right.

    This is the recommended riding position for slabbing, and also a good reason to be blind.l6KxI.jpg

  5. Nice meeting you guys today!

    Some very nice twisties except for all the junk on the road!

    Oh and next time,I'll need to be home on time,wifey not happy with me bring 2 hours late!

    I'm sure it counts for zero.. But did you try telling her you had to make sure a clueless newb got home safe?

    Seriously, thanks for waiting up and thanks everybody for an exciting day. Roads might be iffy but weather was perfect.

    Nice to meet you all! Looking forward to the video, since for most of my ride I couldn't see many of you :D

    Scott

  6. Well if i learned one thing in the Army, it's you can quit whenever you get tired or sore... If i'm not there at 0630, i'm not mission capable. Night :)
