jbeaber's Triumph 675 turns heads wherever he goes. A couple of guys on bicycles stopped while we were chattin' midway through our ride to admire his new ride:

Ya she's in there.  You just gotta look hard.

Is she camera shy?  I sure don't see her anywhere.

Pandy:
What tips did Scratch give you that helped you the most?  What sort of pace did you guys keep?
Do you still have the stock tires on your SV?
What was the temperature that day?  What is the speed limit on the twisties you were on?

Thanks?

Getting my tush up off of the bike in rough spots, and what to do in downhill. I don't much like riding downhill at all, but we've got quite a bit of downhill around here (since we have quite a bit of uphill!), so he chatted with me about positioning of the tush, gripping with the knees, getting the tush up off the seat, putting weight on the outside of the pegs, and on the ride back while I was putting all this stuff into practice, it was a FANTABULOUS ride!! I still consider myself quite the newbie, so any time I can follow the lines of the experienced riders and chat with the experts, I'm a happy camper, and I really like putting the advice into practice right away and seeing what changes for me. scratch is an excellent rider and a natural teacher! :kiss3:

Quote from: Jake D on May 22, 2006, 07:54:34 AMWhat sort of pace did you guys keep?
scratch was the leader, so he can answer that...for him, I think it was moderate...for me, his pace was definitely very brisk. My pace was more C- group.  ;) Coming back, however, after chatting with scratch about getting the tush up off of the bike during the rough spots and balls of feet on the pegs and cornering, I kept up quite naturally with the big boys on the way back. I did wait with the co-sweep for the GeeP sweep at a turn. Otherwise, I think I would have finished out the ride with the big boys.  :thumb:

Yes.

Quote from: Jake D on May 22, 2006, 07:54:34 AMWhat was the temperature that day?
About 75 degrees in the sun (the sun was intense!) and fairly cool in the shade (60-65-ish?)...

Quote from: Jake D on May 22, 2006, 07:54:34 AMWhat is the speed limit on the twisties you were on?
I think between 20/25 for curvy curves to maybe 35 or 40 for a couple of straight stretches. There were only a couple of 5MPH-type hairpins. It's actually a very mellow loop; it's not for beginners, but definitely easy for the experienced riders. It was my second time on this road, and I can't wait for the third time!  :icon_mrgreen:

I want to chat with Scratch.  If I need to outrun you, I'll just point it down hill and slide on by!

You know what I mean.  I bet you do?
