Hey Rob, Didn't have much luck posting on AFJ, just wanted to say thanks for supplying the route and stopping and waiting for a minute for us slower riders. I had a great day and learned a whole load of things about how my bikes handles and what I can make my bike do in a decreasing radius turn (this happened a lot, love trail braking). I learned my bike seems to want to scrape the lower fairing before it hits the pegs, so it looks like I can only hook it harder in At the end of the day though I pulled up next to the orange Z1000 looking at lane traffic to the left at the stop sign and did not notice the gravel below my tires, one tug of the right hand and Survival Reaction #7 I pulled harder in panic. I dropped it on the right side and there was not any damage to the bike thanks to the new extended bar ends I put on this summer. I had some paint scratches, but that is why I have touch up paint in the garage . My feet were in sandy gravel so not much luck there. Just headed home from there (too bad I missed the beer break in Rabbit Hash!). I am excited for next year when I am a much stronger rider!
