Blitz Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) And then the fuck you's started flying in.I literally started laughing out loud.Anyone else fighting the urge to ride back down to TN this weekend?I'm actually looking at going back down here soon. If I can swing it with work and the Ol' Lady, I might get a round 2 down there. Edited June 13, 2015 by Blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hell Jim, had I known you had a GoPro I'd have asked you to follow me for a little while. I have more than enough footage tailing you! Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theroamr Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Jim, thanks for uploading video. I get the distinct impression you could have blown by me at anytime. I did hold back to keep group together in straights though. In the corners I had fun bit didn't go crazy. Next time pass me I know its not the safest but I love to play around a bit. Maybe,,,maybe I could have kept up for a few corners. Tony still surprised me how well he could throw around the Vfr, especially with arm not 100%. Had great time guys.

theroamr Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Marlboro man great lean. Get your ass up off the seat. You easily could have dragged a knee with that angle and gained a few mph. Nice pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadTrainDriver Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 don't know about knee rubbing but my pipe's got rub marks on my sport tourer? I will ask why in motorcycle safety course next wk Body position.Your body is leaning to the left, in relation to where your waist is.You're using your lower body to lean the bike.Leaning your body more allows you to lean the bike less. Look at this link:http://www.ofirmx.com/blog/2013-04-10/motorcycle-cornering-survival-reactions-and-proper-body-positioning/21 Compare the "correct" and "incorrect" body angles, about halfway down the page.Notice how yours is exactly like the incorrect pictures. It's a very common mistake of new riders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were riding a smart, quick pace. Especially considering the law enforcement in the area and the fact that we needed to ride our bikes home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering the law enforcement in the area and the fact that we needed to ride our bikes home Agreed. There were times I thought "I'm surprised these guys aren't riding faster than this." They were few and far between, but the thought occurred.....immediately followed by "good thing they're not. Too many cops and too far from home."I thought the pace for both days was pretty near perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 The pace worked out for me too, since I was able to give you guys a 5 minute rest at each turn-off point. I'm so considerate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think that you will be doing enough self-flagellation this coming weekend to make atonement for all of our collective shame. Good luck on the peddling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habi Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Rectifier replaced. Still blowing ignition fuses when turning on the power. I haven't pulled the stator case yet to see what that's looking like due to lack of time. Electronic gremlins suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Well Mike, I guess it's a good thing you didn't waste your time with hunting down a new battery on Saturday, and instead stayed back at the cabin and drank beer.Looks like that was proper planning and execution.

Habi Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I haven't yet. Just plugged the new rectifier in with no change in issues. Something is melted somewhere. Stator next then the ecu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
