Kmanlyst Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 i never saw any wild dogs however wild hogs (the actual animal) I saw plenty of down thereForgot about the hogs too. My dad rides down there quite often on his Vstrom and had few run ins with dog packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yes, I almost nailed on on the Gap with Dori on the back. Not nice. He ran across the road in a corner. And a group of 4 others riding 2 up right behind me too. Would've been very bad. Was a baby wild boar but still. A few seconds difference and it would've taken us all down I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 My monies is going to trackdays now lolRide with Me, Hutch and Chris on 129 and you'll have about the same experience as a track day. I love track days and do them every chance I get too but you are shorting yourself by skipping this trip for a track day. I understand your reasons and trying to better your skills after your mishap but its also all in the group you ride with. I watched your crash video and some of the other vids and the lines were all fucked up to begin with. That was part of the problem. Find a better group to ride with and follow their lines. You'll get that on the Gap with us. I would skip a free track day to pay for this trip no lie. You are cheating yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys never even got off the seat or repositioned elbows or knees. Body position is just as important as the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 The biggest thing I saw from both is not moving body's around and using the brakes. Leave the brakes alone, at least the back brake anyway. That 650 has a ton of engine braking. Get in a lower gear and rev that bitch out in the curves and then you can use the engine as your rear brake when you feel you need to instead of the brakes themselves and standing it up or sliding out. When in doubt lean harder and have faith it will stick. If it doesn't, well you leaned harder so you're that much closer to the ground if you do go down you don't have as far to fall .
