Unfortunately for rider's who have been down, being tentative can be even worse. You start thinking about cornering and it gets hairy. Just keep going at it. The moment you start overthinking, is the moment survival reactions take place. Just look through the corner, keep a steady throttle hand, and the bike will be just fine. I'd bet your tires were still cold and didn't have the grip at that moment. It happens. I can assure you, the bike can do much more than what you were doing before you crashed so you have nothing really to worry about. And from the sounds of it, you have the knowledge about basic cornering from your explanation of the crash, much more than an average 1 year rider. And remember, gear is important. You can pick up a pair of textile riding pants for 100$ or so and it'll help with the injuries.

Welcome!

Welcome

That's a real bad day lol

Ok whaler and I originally planned to leave at 9 but the rain is still in the area. We plan to reassess for 11 or so. We might be able to meet up. I'll let you guys know.

Whaler and I plan on riding - We are meeting in Wooster around 9am. (Means Coshocton around 1030)... Maybe we'll see you around but we plan on heading towards McConnelsville depending on weather.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. As many will tell you on here, we recommend you take the MSF course. It'll teach you the fundamentals to riding and you'll even get your endorsement at the end. Also some insurance companies will give you a break on premiums for completing the course. There are plenty of good riders on here that can help as well. The bike looks nice. Hope to maybe see ya around.

Nice job Dan, and like everyone else, lol at tthe end.

No worries Doc. It was dirty through the first couple turns so I don't blame you for taking it easy through the other few corners. I'd prefer you make sure you stayed safe and make it home than get hurt trying to push just because you think others are bored or want to go faster. I'll ride your pace anytime you want to come down. Absolutely! I'll edit the 555 footage first On a serious note, I'll get some actual footage editing here tonight and get some links posted. Doc do you want the original footage? I can let you remote into my computer and yank all that footage that you want. Glad I had someone to ride back with! JackFlash and IP was who I thought would be riding back, but with IP's Ducati deciding it didn't want to continue and JackFlash heading back with Nivin, I was glad you were able to go that direction.

443 Miles Today - Got back about 7pm safe - Special thanks to Isaac's Papa for getting those tires on last night... Made this all possible. Sorry about the Ducati and the probable fuel pump issues. Hopefully you'll get it squared away and it won't cause too much difficulty. Glad to ride with you again Nivin. Always a pleasure. Nice meeting a lot more guys and actually getting some time to actually talk to you. I'll have some videos up later but here's the 2 pics I took.

On my way! See you around 945

I'm in. See you guys in millersburg.

Unlucky for me as I won't be able to ride Sunday. I have football that day. Guess I'll see ya on the next one. Ride safe!!

if 2500 is your range, I'd highly consider IP's bandit... If you can't get passed the red color then you may be able to talk this guy down a bit. http://chautauqua.craigslist.org/mcy/4477072911.html or maybe this http://buffalo.craigslist.org/mcy/4502645577.html

Providing that nothing happens I'd guess 10:30-11

Apparently CycleGear in North Olmstead is having itself a bike night from 5-8pm. According to the email they sent me, they will have raffles, food, drinks, and major deals on stuff there. I'm probably not going, but figured some on here might.

Tires on order - Should be here Tuesday. Maybe if IP can mount em for me this coming week I'll be good to go for this.

It'll just be one group.

Welcome.

I can't ride til I get some dam tires.

Got ya. I apologize for forgetting.

Part II : The Continuation from the last video POV: Dizzledan Rear Cam: On my bike facing backwards Rear cam is shaky and dies half way through but figured it couldn't be it's own video so why not add something to this one. At the end of the last video, Dan hops off his bike at the stop sign to video all the bikes. After a wrong turn by me , this video picks up. He ends up behind Isaac's Papa on his Ducati. In front of Pauly, I believe is Connie14. The Hi-Vis yellow helmet guy, I apologize, I can't remember who that was. I believe Blitz gets in a little face time as well on his white GSXr, until he peeled off. Enjoy!
